The Duke of Havana: Baseball, Cuba, and the Search for the American DreamThe Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty four foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout
The Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty-four-foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout his story are the immensely talented Cuban players whose lives reflect the slow death of Cuban socialism. Also present is the Castro-hating Miami-based sports agent Joe Cubas, whose audacious, secret plots have transformed him into a major political figure in the Cuban exile community's relentless war to topple Castro. These personal stories illuminate the rising political and social tensions in Cuba, the growing status of the Catholic Church in the country's affairs, major league baseball's astonishingly corrupt system for recruiting players, its systematic violation of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, and the historic role of baseball in U.S.-Cuba relations. Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were reporting, The Duke of Havana is a riveting story of sports, politics, and greed.Binding Type: Paperback

Well balanced sharp blades.
Excellent knife set. Versatile and very well made. Full tang, very well balanced blade. Sharp. Cuts better than many, much more expensive knives.

Good Quality for the Price – Solid Everyday Set
ve been using this knife set for a little while now, and overall I’m really happy with it—especially for the price. It comes with everything you need for everyday cooking, which made it perfect for me starting fresh in the kitchen.
The knives are sharp right out of the box and handle basic tasks like cutting vegetables, meat, and bread really well. I also like that it includes a sharpener and a block to keep everything organized.
The only thing I would say is that they may need to be sharpened more often with regular use, but that’s expected at this price point.
Overall, it’s a solid, affordable set that gets the job done and looks nice on the counter.
