Covering popular culture, the economy, and Cuban politics, veteran reporter Reese Erlich combines original photography with on-the-ground reporting from Havana and Miami. He explores Cuba's strained history with the US, the power of the Cuba Lobby and offers a fresh look at the island nation nearly 50 years after their historic Revolution to create a tableau that is at once moving and informative. This will be the stand-out book about Cuba during the media coverage of the anniversary. It will lay out the options and challenges facing the next American president. He concludes with prospects for policy change following the death of Fidel Castro.

"Dateline Havana combines good investigative reporting with sharp analysis. Erlich takes us inside the cultures of Cubans and Cuban Americans, an eyewitness to their lives and their challenging politics over 40 years of reporting from the island nation. Dateline Havana is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the problems and seeing change in U.S. Cuba policy." -Walter Cronkite, former anchor of CBS Evening News
