Discover the facts about Cuba

For more than 50 years, the US government and news media have misrepresented the truth about Cuba. This book brings together a fascinating array of facts and anecdotes about Cuba's history, its government, its people, and the actions that the United States has taken against the well-being of those people.

Other countries do know the truth. Every year at the United Nations they demand that the United States end its embargo of Cuba. (The 2012 vote was 188-3.)

Cuba's focus on human dignity and value, healthcare, education, sustainability, and international humanitarian cooperation serves as an example for other countries.

Now, no matter which country you live in, you can learn the facts about Cuba and make up your own mind.

"This is the best and most useful book on Cuba I have ever seen. I hope it will be widely read."--Deena Stryker, author of Cuba 1964: When the Revolution Was Young

"A highly accessible compilation of information that few Americans know about this island nation...Every year the United Nations demands that the United States end its embargo of Cuba; and Cuba's living standards are notably higher than those of many other developing nations... [This book] presents fascinating tidbits bite-by-bite and grouped by general category, from snapshots of Cuban history to economics, to how Cubans prepare for hurricanes, to matters of tourism..."Cuba for the Misinformed is extraordinarily educational and enlightening."- Midwest Book Review

"A reader-friendly run-down of the myths and misinformation running rampant about Cuba, while setting the record straight by documenting achievements of the government and society since 1959...Has extraordinarily helpful references for further research throughout." - Conner Gorry, InsightCuba.com
