This First Edition copy of "Miami" is in excellent condition. Dustwrapper is price-clipped. Other than that, it is perfect. A great telling of the fateful relationship between Cuban exiles of Miami and the larger body politic of the United States. In a work of masterly reporting, Didion describes a place in which two profoundly different cultures co-exist (apparently with no understanding of each other) and where the myths of Cuban exile have not only become the everyday stuff of local politics, but have spread out from Miami to the White House and beyond, to include the Bay of Pigs, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Watergate Burglary and the financing of the Nicaraguan Contras.... For, on closr inspection, this is a book about two cities, not one - Miami and Washington. In it, Joan Didion has written her most insightful nonfiction to date.
