Reviews

"Filled with the suspense of a blockbuster war movie, offering new and insightful perspectiveinto the political climate of 1950s Cuba."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY,starred review

"William Morgan was a figure straight out of Hemingway…Was [he] a double agent working for Castro? Was he a CIA man?…Another seamy mstery of the Cold War."
KIRKUS REVIEWS

"The Americano's strength lies in explaining how the three anti-Batista forces constantly jockeyed for supremacy and influence . . . . Shetterly nicely weaves FBI, CIA and State Department files on Morgan into his narrative."
