Matt Mackowiak's Mack On Politics

Cuba is the subject of the 257th episode. Our guest is David Landau, the author of “Brothers From Time to Time” about two brothers on opposite sides of the Cuban revolution in the 1950s and about what Cuba shows about socialism. In this conversation we examine why he wrote the book, how Castro was viewed in Cuba in the 1950s and since, who the two brothers were, how he wrote the book and fought to get it published, what the response has been from Cuban refugees in the U.S. and what Cuba’s experience can teach us about socialism.
