The Duke of Havana: Baseball, Cuba, and the Search for the American DreamThe Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty four foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout
The Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty-four-foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout his story are the immensely talented Cuban players whose lives reflect the slow death of Cuban socialism. Also present is the Castro-hating Miami-based sports agent Joe Cubas, whose audacious, secret plots have transformed him into a major political figure in the Cuban exile community's relentless war to topple Castro. These personal stories illuminate the rising political and social tensions in Cuba, the growing status of the Catholic Church in the country's affairs, major league baseball's astonishingly corrupt system for recruiting players, its systematic violation of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, and the historic role of baseball in U.S.-Cuba relations. Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were reporting, The Duke of Havana is a riveting story of sports, politics, and greed.Binding Type: Paperback

Works just like the Mercedessource guy said it would.
Size: 5 Liter
After viewing a Mercedessource video (trusted Mercedes repair advice Youtuber and blogger) on which oil he liked for higher mileage Mercedes he pointed this out Semi-synthetic 10w-40 out. Called it “muddy” oil. Said it possibly helped with small oil seal leaks and seemed to slow oil loss in higer miles Mercedes. Also made the engines run more quietly. So I have been using in my wife’s high mileage Mercedes (185,000miles W211 2004 E500 4matic) which we baby and I work on. A true very high compression super car, everything he said at Mercedessource has turned out to be accurate. No more leaks. Quiet lifters. Cooler running. Wow. I had been using Mobil 1 full synthetic 0W-40 European Car Formula exclusively but tried this for the seal protection. Works great and no, it is not Mercedes spec but I will see when the harsh Utah winter hits. May switch to the Liqui-Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf full synthetic (which does meet Mercedes 722.9 oil spec) for winter (I change the oil every 6 months regardless). Thanks for reading.
