Reviews

Ian Brown reviewed Cuba libre by Elmore Leonard

Speed run through the Spanish-American War.

4.0 stars

An enjoyable, fast-paced (it is an Elmore Leonard book after all) tour through turn-of-the-century Cuba. A heck of a western, even if it takes place in the Carribean. ACAB, even back then.
