Moon Handbooks: Cuba provides everything you need for your trip to Cuba, including unparalleled coverage of how Americans can work around the flight ban. With in-depth essays that paint a vivid portrait of life and travel in one of the hottest spots in the Caribbean, this guide provides readers with a compelling and thorough understanding of this much-misrepresented Marxist country. Author Christopher P. Baker traveled over 7,000 miles across the island by motorcycle to conduct his research; the result is lively, accurate, up-to-date coverage of Cuba, from the decaying facades of old Havana to Guantanamo. "Full of history and practical detail about everything from officialdom to sexual mores to the apparent complexities of the transportation system, this is a book to read thoroughly before you go. Warns and educates readers in great detail - but doesn't lose sight of the basics, like where to get lobster with all the trimmings and beer for $10." - San Francisco Examiner
