This 500 page book is a new telling of the history of the unincorporated community of Castro Valley, California. It narrates the story of the evolution of the town from a Spanish Mission grazing pasture to a large, suburban bedroom community. The history is told in equal measures by images, maps and text. This is the first history of the town that leverages the power of the modern internet, allowing the discovery of photographs, maps and stories previously hidden on musty academic library shelves or deep in county archives, as well as making it possible to find ancestors of old timers and tap into their family albums and lore. For the first time, extensive use was made of the old Alameda and Contra Costa County squatter, deed and mortgage records, defining exactly who purchased what land, when, and at what cost. Alameda County placed all of their maps going back to 1853 on line in 2016, this unmined treasure trove of historical data proved to be one of the key sources for the project. All of the official US government records for the rancho confirmation court cases pertaining to town namesake Guillermo Castro and his neighbors the Estudillos and Sotos in the 1850's are distilled into a chapter covering this sordid era in US history. The overarching ambition of the work is to describe in detail each stage in the towns development and to explain why each change occurred when it did. Growth spurts triggered by the gold rush, the diaspora fleeing the great San Francisco Earthquake in 1906 and the arrival of critical war workers during WWII are described in detail. Pioneers and key civic leaders are detailed in each stages of the community's development. One chapter illustrates the history of the many failed attempts to incorporate Castro Valley as a self-governing city. Surrounding communities are described where appropriate to provide context for the changes in Castro Valley. Several well accepted stories about Castro Valley turned out to be apocryphal, including an officially designated California Historical landmark. This book sets the record straight.

El Sobrante is a semirural community in Contra Costa County situated between the towns of Richmond, Pinole, and Orinda. In Spanish, el sobrante means "the surplus," but is more commonly translated as "the leftovers." The name is derived from the Rancho El Sobrante, which was carved from land surrounded by Mexican land grants. Unlike many of its neighbors, El Sobrante never attracted any large company or business interest that would have determined its pattern of growth. As a result, the town was free to develop in a way that reflects the wishes and hopes of its residents. Its people take pride that their community is a quiet place with small businesses, unpretentious homes, and open space where people can walk, ride horses, or simply enjoy nature.

Rhetoric during and after the Cold War years has painted starkly contrasting portraits of Cuba's Fidel Castro: an unblemished idealist on the one hand, a ruthless dictator on the other. This insightful book, the most intimate and dispassionate biography of the revolutionary leader to date, shows that neither assessment is true. Leycester Coltman, British ambassador to Cuba in the early 1990s, came as close to personal friendship with Castro as any foreigner was permitted. With frequent contact and regular conversations, Coltman was in a unique position to observe the dictator's personality in both public and private situations. Here he presents a close-up view of the man who for half a century has been loved, admired, feared, and hated, but seldom really understood. Coltman chronicles the events of the Cuban leader's extraordinary life from the political activism of his university days in Havana to periods of exile, imprisonment, and guerilla warfare alongside Che Guevara, to the uncertainties of his old age. Drawing on personal observation and archival sources in Cuba and abroad, Coltman explores the contradiction between the private character and the public reputation, and highlights the complexities of the consummate actor who continues to play a crucial role on the international stage.
