Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. Stated first printing. Very rare first-hand accounting of life and politics in pre-Castro Cuba. Boards with light shelf wear and light age toning; pages dusty with light age toning; interior clean. Ruby Hart Phillips (1898-1985) was a New York Times correspondent in Cuba who covered the Batista regime and the rise of Fidel Castro. She reported from the island for 24 years, from 1937 to 1961. Her coverage, relatively favorable toward Batista, was often at odds with that of Herbert Matthews, the noted Times foreign correspondent who favored Castro. Personal animosity grew between them, and their contradictory coverage of the same events drew criticism from readers and media critics. Life became increasingly difficult for Phillips after the Cuban Revolution because of her anti-Castro temperament. She left Cuba for good in 1961, shortly after her home and office were raided and her Cuban colleagues were arrested.
