"Bob McCabe's Havana is not, of course, Ernest Hemingway's Havana or Ava Gardner's or Graham Greene's. How could it be? And yet, its lascivious character has not been completely lost [...] As Bob McCabe says in the introduction, he only stayed in Havana for four days, and this short visit may have helped him intensify his attention. He also says that he focused on the people. He created an extremely colorful collection of images, which provokes a wealth of different impressions."

The 97 color photographs in the book depict a people who remain warm and friendly despite the hardships they face due to the US embargo and the Castro regime. Robert McCabe's book "Greece: The Innocent Years (1954-1965)" (2004) is one of the most successful photographic albums of recent years. Following the spirit of his previous books, the photographs of Havana present the same relationship with the photographed objects and the same sense of composition that generally characterize his work.
