Carlos Lazo Cuba witnessed the events that led to the fall of Fulgencio Batista's regime and which ultimately resulted in Fidel Castro attaining power. He was a pilot in the war against Castro's guerrillas in the provinces of Oriente and Camaguey from May 1, 1958 until the end of that year."

Para ordenar la historia de la gran megalópolis en que se ha convertido la ciudad de México, el autor ha elegido el camino inverso al que tradicionalmente adopta el historiador: en lugar de partir de los orígenes, empieza su recorrido en la moderna ciudad del siglo XX para retroceder en el tiempo hasta llegar a la gran Tenochtitlán y regresar después a la actual metrópoli posmoderna. El autor nos descubre la ciudad a través de su arquitectura, sus fiestas, su música, su cine y demás manifestaciones culturales.
