Thomas's notion of history's scope is generous, for he has not limited himself to telling old political and military events; he describes Cuban culture at all stages ... not merely accessible but absorbing. His language is witty but never mocking, crisp but never harsh'\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Yorker\u003cbr\u003e\n'Thomas seems to have talked to everybody not dead or in jail, and read everything. He is scrupulously fair'\u003cbr\u003e\nTime\u003cbr\u003e\nHugh Thomas is the author of, among other books, The Spanish Civil War (1962), which won the Somerset Maugham Award, Cuba: The Pursuit of Freedom (1971), An Unfinished History of the World (1979), and the first two volumes of his Spanish Empire trilogy, Rivers of Gold (2003) and The Golden Age (2010).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780008250966\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 2.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096364585264,"sku":"Trans_9780008250966","price":2549.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71Bx6-D5gPL.jpg?v=1756451012","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/cuba-a-history","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
