By far the most superficial and poorly researched book on rum available on Amazon. The rum books by Plotkins and Curtis are FAR better. Seems the author spent his research money on Che Guevara t-shirts and prostitutes during his trip to Cuba. Mind you, this opinion comes from a native of the Caribbean basin who has lived/visited nearly every rum producing country in the Western Hemispher over the past 15 years.
I thought I bought a book about rum. Not some Brit's blind romance with the falied Cuban revolution and the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, while blaming Britain and the U.S. for all of the problems in the Caribbean. Next time spend more than a week in my region of the world, without Cuban/Nicaraguan government minders, to get a real feel for the region and our rich rum making tradition.Get more detail about Rum.
