From a Lost ParadiseAdvance copies of Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D.'s new epic book, Cuba in Revolution-Escape From a Lost Paradise (publication date April 10, 2002) are now available via this website. You may order below.
The book reveals the untold story of the Cuban Revolution, an eyewitness account weaved through a boy's intrepid escape via several Caribbean islands. And yet the book also sets the record straight regarding the alleged gains of the communist revolution.
Dr. Faria pounces on and unravels the purported triumphs of the Revolution with his new book, Cuba in Revolution-Escape From a Lost Paradise, which will be published and available in a limited number of bookstores on April 10, 2002. A number of advance copies will be available for purchase via this special offer extended for a limited time only to friends of the Medical Sentinel and recipients of our unpublished e-mail lists.
Hacienda Publishing, Inc. (http://www.haciendapub.com) and the Medical
Sentinel want you to obtain an advance copy of this book before the
publication date of April 10, 2002-and thereby bypass the filter of the
mainstream liberal media, many of whom remain enamored of the Cuban Maximum
Leader, Fidel Castro, and the mythic "golden years" of his communist
revolution!
Among the revolutionary myths that come crashing down:
o Find out why the Barbudos of Fidel Castro's 26th of July movement were not the romantic revolutionaries the American media like The New York Times (and even the Cuban press under Batista like Bohemia), made them out to be.
o What was the Revolutionary Directorate (RD), the 13th of March movement? Who were its leaders? Why wasn't the American media interested in these anticommunist rebels? In a pivotal speech after the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, why did Fidel Castro ask the RD and the Cuban people: ¿Armas, para que? ("Guns, for what?") Shortly thereafter, why were the civilian population methodically disarmed and opponents of the regime sought out by State Security?
o The CIA did not betray the freedom fighters at the Bay of Pigs. Who did? You will find out who the real culprits were when you read this book.
o What happened to the Cuban uprising that was supposed to, but never did, materialize near Trinidad, a "counterrevolutionary" stronghold during or after the Bay of Pigs invasion? You will also find out how opponents of the regime were rounded up and executed at the time of the ill-fated invasion.
o Learn the venal details of the October Missile Crisis (1962) and the ramifications of the secret Kennedy-Khruschev Pact that sealed the fate of the Cuban people for forty years. Find out what went on in the island during the Missile Crisis - and the plans and intentions of the Cuban Maximum Leader.
o The socialist workers' paradise is exposed for what it is, namely, a brutal police state. George Orwell's 1984 arrived in Cuba in the 1960s --- twenty-five years early! And like in Orwell's Animal Farm, the privileged revolutionaries became the ruling elite, the mayimbes, the new masters who were more equal than the rest of the Cuban people-the liborios.
o The promised agrarian reforms became forced collectivization, desolation of the beautiful Cuban countryside, and destruction of a once beautiful and prosperous country - particularly, as revealed in the brutal offensive against the anti-communist Escambray rebels and their campesino supporters between 1960-1965. Although this sanginary, drawn out conflict resembled the extermination of the Kulaks by Stalin in the USSR, it was ignored by the U.S. media, the same media which adored Fidel Castro and helped his ascension to power.
o Given the "great advances" of the Revolution on education
and health care in Cuba in the 1970s and 1980s, are the Cuban people really
better off today than they were in 1958 under Batista? Are Cubans today
really better off than other citizens in Latin American countries?
Among the revelations that come to light:
o Given the popularity of the Maximum Leader and his romantic revolutionaries, why did Fidel Castro find it necessary to follow the police state tactics common to all tyrannies: The knock on the door in the middle of the night, raids, seizures, surveillance, identification cards, and of course, gun control.
o What happened to Castro's Wars of National Liberation in Africa and Central America during the 1970s and 1980s?
o What evidence is there that Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl
are involved in drug trafficking. Who was General Arnaldo Ochoa?
Regarding US-Cuba Relations
Consider the current political situation: Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, who sent the child Elián González back to the dictatorship of Fidel Castro, considers a run for Governor of Florida after beating all her Democrat opponents in opinion pollsSecretary of State Colin Powell praises Fidel CastroPresident George W. Bush follows the footsteps of Bill Clinton continuing his "wet feet, dry feet" immigration policy and refuses to enforce Title III of the Helms-Burton law. Why these perceived U.S. government betrayals?
o With the purported death of international communism, should the U.S. policy toward Cuba change in the twenty-first century? Do the Castro brothers still pose a threat to U.S. security?
o Is there any evidence for Cuban involvement in the drug trafficking wars and connection to the Marxist guerrillas in Colombia?
o Should Americans remain unconcerned by the recent Red Chinese, Russian and Iranian overtures to the Cuban communist regime?
o Should the U.S. ignore events in Venezuela, where socialist President Hugo Chavez has styled himself " the second Fidel Castro," and the fact that the United States remains the number one importer of Venezuelan oil? After all, it was over Kuwaiti oil that the Persian Gulf War was fought in 1991!
o What sort of country is Cuba likely to be after the Castro brothers are gone?
o Cuba in Revolution-Escape From a Lost Paradise provides moral and economic reasons why strong sanctions against the communist regime should remain in place, at least until the dictatorship of the Castro brothers comes to an end and constitutional governance is restored in Cuba as well as why President Bush should in the next six months reconsider his decision about the Helms-Burton law.
Cuba in Revolution-Escape From a Lost Paradise provides ample ammunition to freedom-loving Americans and policy makers by shedding light as to what is right and proper U.S. policy toward Cuba and tracing a future in freedom for the Caribbean island.
Cuba in Revolution-Escape From a Lost Paradise will be helpful to those who are not sure about the harsh realities in Cuba today and want to learn more. It will also assist the reader in recognizing what has really been at stake in the protracted political war between the U.S. and the brutal regime of Fidel Castro.
Weaved throughout the book is the human-interest story of the author's intrepid escape with his father through several Caribbean islands, while the rest of his family staying behind were interrogated by the dreaded G-2 State Security. Learn about Acts of Repudiation, the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, Voluntary work in the fields, and, of course, free education and free health care.
