This unique collection of rarely seen photos by veteran Magnum photographer Burt Glinn records Castro's historic entry into Havana in January 1959.

Full of the revolutionary fervor and idealistic anticipation tht characterised that moment in Cuban history, this book includes essays and poems in both Spanish and English. 83 photos.
