The article presents critical analyses of two books on political conditions in Cuba. These books are "Castro's Final Hour: The Secret Story Behind the Coming Downfall of Communist Cuba," by Andres Oppenheimer, and "Trading With the Enemy: A Yankee Through Castro's Cuba," by Tom Miller. Castro's Final Hour opens in 1989, just before the Cuban economy felt the full impact of the Soviet collapse. Using the language of a thriller, Oppenheimer re-creates the execution of Arnaldo Ochoa, Cuba's most famous combat general, who had directed Cuba's military campaigns in Africa and Nicaragua.
