About the book
This unique collection of rarely seen photos by veteran Magnum photographer Burt Glinn records Castro's historic entry into Havana in January 1959. In his memoir, Glin describes the snap decision that led him to leave a New York party and hop on a plan to Havana on New Year's Eve, making him one of three western photographers (the other two no longer alive) to accompanay Castro at that time. Full of the revolutionary fervor and idealistic anticipation tht characterised that moment in Cuban history, this book includes essays and poems in both Spanish and English. 83 photos.
