My thanks to Ken and the Anchor for sharing my experiences in Cuba. (See “On humanitarian mission, Great Islander observes effects of Cuban embargo,” by Kenneth Z. Chutchian, on Page 17 of the May edition.)

For anyone who would like to know more and understand Cuba better, I recommend “Cuba: An American History,” by Ada Ferrer, published in 2021 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
