ABOUT THE SPANISH VERSION OF THIS BOOK [E-BOOk].I have read this book with great interest. Part of the information in it is−in great measure−new to me, even though I lived through the post-1959 period in Cuba and remained on the Island until 1982.I give this book high marks for content. I also appreciate the writer's candor and honesty.Why the 3 stars then?: Form.The book is very repetitive. It has plenty of spelling mistakes (missing accent marks and extra accent marks−the adverb “solo” as “sólo”−the Academy killed that some time ago).It also has phrases like "vio la escritura en la pared", a common English expression that means nothing to a Spanish reader (and there are two or three other examples of that). It seems like this book was written in English first and then translated into Spanish by someone not very competent.The Great Miranda did not go to Paris to participate in the French Revolution in 1971, I’m pretty sure of that. A few other historical dates need a second look.This could be a great book, but it needs a good editor and a decent translator to become one.Cheers,Dave^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^SOBRE LA VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL [E-BOOk].He leído este libro con sumo interés.Aunque viví el período post-1959 en Cuba y permanecí en la Isla hasta 1982, gran parte de la información presentada es nueva para mí.
