Media Reviews

Deftly written, keenly understood, soft-spokenly incisive, if there's one book about Cuba you read before you go, make it Cuba, Hot and Cold. --La Bloga

[Cuba, Hot and Cold] offers a delightful 107 pages of insightful, mostly anecdotal, vignettes spanning history, politics and, of course, Cuba's often confounding and always defiantly soulful culture. --Chris Baker

A wryly engaging romp through the extraordinary Caribbean island nation that Tom Miller knows so well. For the uninitiated, it's all here: Havana, the music, the Malec n, the '50s Chevys, Hemingway, Che and Fidel and 'Remember the Maine.' But beyond all that, there is a real sense here of the Cubans in all their larger-than-lifeness and smartass wit. If you are going to read one book before you go to Cuba, make it this one, for pleasure's sake. --Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life
