On returning to america, the esteemed and controversial sociologist wrote a small paperback on much of what he had heard and seen, which he published as Listen, Yankee: The Revolution in Cuba. The ones interviews–now transcribed and translated–are interwoven here with extensive annotations to provide an explanation for and contextualize their content. Readers will have the ability to “hear” Mills as a professional interviewer and ascertain how he used what he learned from his informants. Trevino also recounts the experiences of 4 central figures whose lives changed into inextricably intertwined right through that fateful summer of 1960: C.

The singular event that compelled their biographies to intersect at a decisive moment within the history of Cold War geopolitics–with its attendant animosities and intrigues–was the Cuban Revolution.
