Colonial Cuba
The author, Raul Eduardo Chao, received a Doctorate degree from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. He has worked as director of the Chemical Engineering programs at the University of Puerto Rico and Detroit, as well as a consultant for NASA and the private sector. He published the historic novels: Contramaestre, Baraguá & Jimaguayú and many others historical books like Exiled Cuba. The Spanish 400 year domination that ended in 1898 was followed by four years of US occupation that offered Cubans their first lessons on how to govern a country. The enlightened European civilization that Spain had brought to Cuba had been blighted by selfish economic and political impositions. After 1898, the constructive years of American government control were marred by the burden of an unwelcomed Platt amendment. This book presents a series of episodes of these 400 years of Colonial Cuba. The fervent hope that Cuba would be free continues to this day in the hearts of Cubans in the island and in exile.

Three Days in March. the Events in 1952 That Marked the Beginning of the End of the Republic of Cuba
Cuba's political life en 1952 was a sorrowful melodrama Carlos Prio had introduced reforms and gangsterism had diminished; his administration was better definitely than Ramon Grau San Martin's, his predecessor. People, however, were looking at politicians with little if any respect. Eduardo Chibas had demolished whatever stability was left of Cuba's fragile political life. Then, on march 10, 1952, an unexpected Batista Coup d'Etat shocked the country; its suddenness stymied any attempts of resistance. Some Cubans felt an impotent rage; others an instantaneous numbness, followed by a cold apathy; a few showed absolute indifference. There was no public outrage; at most only regret and annoyanc...

For a good many years he was the eyes, the intellect and ears of the United States as Our Consul in Havana.
Damn the Revolution!
All throughout history, people have praised revolutions as one of the ways to remedy their lack of freedom and abolish the unearned privileges of others. Revolutions, however, pervert their very aims by bringing uncontrollable anarchy, atrocities, revenge, loss of human talent and destruction of material resources. Their attempts to rebuild society in more human terms always fail miserably. In practice, most revolutions can only be stopped by the emergence of a dictator, which brings about more misery, lack of freedom and inequality that what caused the upheaval in the first place. That's why most people end up disillusioned with the hopeless romance of building a better society by revolting, and end up shouting: Damn the Revolution !
The Man from Vilabuín
This book presents the story of a young man with an unre-lenting will to succeed and make a name for himself. In spite of his humble origins and the many challenges and obstacles that modern life placed in front of him, his strength was his own determination to work hard and do well, and to secure a good and honest standing in society for himself and his family. Throughout his life he was twice battered by oppressive and powerful Marxist ideologues, yet he never capitulat6ed or gave up on his dreams. His quest and accomplishments were by no means unique but exemplify the triumph of men and women who find within themselves the resolve and strength to succeed, give meaning to their lives, and contribute to a better society.
