BLACKTHORN, JOHN
The book crackles with authenticity in describing present day Cuba, and the story line -- involving left behind warheads from the missile crisis and a plot by Cuban refugees to blow up the 40th anniversary celebration of the revolution, comes across as very plausible. The novel reads truest when focusing on historical matters and reportage. Sins of the Father should appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in the missile crisis and the political-economic-social conditions of our offshore neighbor.
