Cuba at Sea
by Ron Ridenour
Free Download (PDF: requires Adobe Reader)
This book gives a unique view of the Cuban
revolution: from the ocean, where Ridenour worked with Cuba's merchant
navy.
The only foreign writer to portray things Cuban as a volunteer merchant
marine, Ron Ridenour sailed six months on five Cuban ships around the
island nation delivering petroleum, and to and from Europe with
container goods, to tell Cuban sailors' views of their society and the
world.
In what other socialist book can you follow the crew through a gale,
catching a giant shark, struggling with a life boat gone amuck, night
life ashore...?
Thanks to photographs by Ron and his colleagues, the 108 pages of this
book (plus four blank pages for notes) are enlivened with 17 beautiful
images. The images are made more powerful by the large, Crown Octavo,
page sizes (twice the page size of a popular paperback).
