Rising star Simon Hall captures the spirit of the 1960s in ten days that revolutionised the Cold War: Fidel Castro''s visit to New York.

DOMINIC SANDBROOK, Literary Review
''A lively account . . Ten Days in Harlem doesn''t stint on piquant detail.''
LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
''[A] perceptive, thoroughly researched and readable study.''
IRISH TIMES
New York City, September 1960. Fidel Castro - champion of the oppressed, scourge of colonialism, and leftist revolutionary – arrives for the opening of the United Nations General AssemblyHis visit to the UN represents a golden opportunity to make his mark on the world stage.
Fidel’s shock arrival in Harlem is met with a rapturous reception from the local African American community. He holds court from the iconic Hotel Theresa as a succession of world leaders, black freedom fighters and counter-cultural luminaries – everyone from Nikita Khrushchev to Gamal Abdel Nasser, Malcolm X to Allen Ginsberg – come callingThen, during his landmark address to the UN General Assembly – one of the longest speeches in the organisation’s history – he promotes the politics of anti-imperialism with a fervour, and an audacity, that makes him an icon of the 1960s.
In this unforgettable slice of modern history, Simon Hall reveals how these ten days were a foundational moment in the trajectory of the Cold War, a turning point in the history of anti-colonial struggle, and a launching pad for the social, cultural and political tumult of the decade that followed.
''Hall delivers his entertaining taile with brio.''
i
''Hall captures Castro''s action-packed September 1960 soujourn in rich and compelling detail, and argues persuasisively that its repercussions echoed deeply in the decades to come.''
