"Twenty years ago, U.S. travel writer Tom Miller became one of the first American journalists to explore Cuba since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. Miller’s book, “Trading with the Enemy: A Yankee Travels Through Castro’s Cuba,” took readers on a grand tour of the island: its books, baseball, music, cuisine and tangled politics, with an ear for biting humor and an eye for amusing contradictions."
AND..."And one thing that’s striking is the number of similarities between the moment you captured in "Trading with the Enemy" and Cuba’s current economic crisis. Then, as now, there was a growing of tolerance for criticism and calls for limited reforms. Does that suggest we’re on the cusp of a new period of changes, or that Cuba is going around in circles?"
