Last Man Out: Memoirs of the Last U.S. Reporter Castro Kicked Out of Cuba During the Cold War Paperback - 2008

by John Fenton Wheeler


From the publisher

Written as a unique firsthand account, this poignant memoir of John Wheeler, the last American journalist in Cuba in the late 1960s, reveals the untold story of Cuba's struggle to reform in the early days of the Cold war. For nearly three years, Wheeler was the only U.S. reporter in Cuba and one of the few Americans to directly witness Castro's attempts at economic, political, and social reform. The real-life stories of spies, counter spies, dissidents, defectors, revolutionary patriots, Soviet journalists, and, of course, Castro himself are featured in this remembrance of the gripping international political tension that characterized the late 1960s.
