A leading scholar sheds light on the experiences of ordinary Cubans in the unseating of the dictator Fulgencio Batista In this important and timely volume, one of today's foremost experts on Cuban history and politics fills a significant gap in the literature, illuminating how Cuba's electoral democracy underwent a tumultuous transformation into a military dictatorship. Lillian Guerra draws on her years of research in newly opened archives and on personal interviews to shed light on the men and women of Cuba who participated in mass mobilization and civic activism to establish social movements in their quest for social and racial justice and for more accountable leadership. Driven by a sense of duty toward la patria (the fatherland) and their dedication to heroism and martyrdom, these citizens built a powerful underground revolutionary culture that shaped and witnessed the overthrow of Batista in the late 1950s. Beautifully illustrated with archival photographs, this volume is a stunning addition to Latin American history and politics.

Décembre 1946 : les principaux caïds de la mafia américaine se réunissent à l'Hotel Nacional de La Havane, à l'invitation de Meyer Lansky et Charlie "Lucky" Luciano. Leur but ? Faire de Cuba, avec la bénédiction du dictateur Fulgencio Batista. l'un des empires du jeu et du divertissement les plus extravagants que le monde ait connus. Juin 1948 : jeune étudiant en droit, Fidel Castro est accusé du meurtre d'un policier. Le leader révolutionnaire n'est pas près de rafler la mise. Deux trajectoires, mafia contre révolution, se croisent jusqu'à leur collision à la fin des années 1950. La partition qui se joue dans les chaudes nuits havanaises, au son des mambos et des complaintes jazzy, annonce le Cuba d'aujourd'hui et ses rapports conflictuels avec les Etats-Unis. Un récit documenté, nourri de témoignages, qui se lit comme un roman à suspense.
