Michener and his longtime assistant, John Kings, who also took the photographs for the book.Media Reviews"Mr. Michener gives his sympathetic impressions of the people and especially of the well-fed and educated children. He visited many public and private places, soaking up the atmosphere that he needed for 'Caribbean,' and was treated cordially by those he met and interviewed.... Mr. Michener and Mr. Kings did not get to see Fidel Castro during their brief, nonpolitical stay, and they do not presume to pass instant judgment on the effects of the revolution." -- Herbert Mitgang, New York Times Publisher Notes"In today's fast-changing world, Cuba will be next on center stage".--James A. Michener. Michener's impressions of Castro's Havana open a unique window on a country and a people so close yet so inaccessible. 160 color prints. When James Michener visited Havana with his associate John Kings, he was only researching Cuba for a new novel on the Caribbean, but he found much more to excite his interest. Michener's insightful text and Kings's evocative photographs record their impressions of Havana thirty years after the Revolution. Other Recommended Books
