Statehood for Cuba

This book is engaging from the first page. . .. to the last page. The Cuban Revolution has lasted almost five decades. This book examines the myths of the Cuban Revolution and explores the concept of 'Statehood for Cuba' which has been proposed on several occasions throughout the creation of America. Two Americans, three Italians and one Spaniard all join together in a hiking journey through France and Spain in the ancient spiritual trail known as el Camino de Santiago which is still in existence today after more than one thousand years. This book gracefully blends the themes of human spirituality, religion, politics, and the ancient history of the trail of el Camino de Santiago with Cuba. Throughout this journey a group of six pilgrims not only explore the ancient trail through these awesome geographical locations located in the Pyrenees mountains of France, the Basque country, and Galicia in Northern Spain, but they also explore the myths of the Cuban Revolution. Unknown stories buried in Cuban history including the one about the curse upon Cuba for the forceful return of three ships back to Europe with over 1,000 Jews fleeing the Nazi persecution of WWII. There are over twenty stories in the book including stories such as El Moncada, the betrayal by the Cuban Revolution of El Che Guevara, the short untold story about Alina - the daughter of Fidel Castro, the Gallegos in Cuba, Black Cuba, the analysis of the Cuban foreign debt, and the proposal of the concept of 'Statehood for Cuba' that all make this book a must to read.
