Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Autobiography about his travels in Cuba, the Carribean, Southern America, Russia, Spanish Civil War all between WWI and WW II. Talked a lot about race relations in these areas. Very interesting from a historical point of view but at times it was confusing and at times it seemed like random name dropping. Started with the audiobook, which was well narrated, and for logistics reasons, switched to the printed book. A fascinating, insightful look at a specific period of time prior to World War II when Hughes traveled. The main travels are Russia but there is a portion devoted to his stay in Spain during their Civil War. Wished it had a map. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
