Our Man In Havana-- Graham Greene

Post by Turdacious »

Great and sardonically funny book, easy quick read. Anyone who has studied the American approach to the Cuba crisis or worked with government bureaucracy will enjoy this.

God damn it. I've picked this up 3 times only to stop at the second page. I'll give it a go again.

You have to get through the first 70-80 pages unfortunately-- the book starts very slow, but worth it for the ending. It isn't one of his guilt ridden novels.
