Tom Schnabel hosts Peter Moruzzi, author of Havana Before Castro/When Cuba Was a Tropical Playground. The book focuses on the glamorous tropical paradise of Cuba until Fidel marched into Havana in January 1959.

We’ll visit the beautiful hotels, fabulous night spots, see floor shows, enjoy a mojito and maybe smoke a Montecristo cigar. Our conversation will be punctuated by music by Cuban immortals such as Beny More, Celia Cruz, Ibrahim Ferrer, and Tito Gomez.
