It is widely acknowledged that Congo became an East- West battlefield during the first half of the decade of the 1960s, yet the participation of Cuban exiles in the struggles is rarely noted. In this absorbing volume Villafaña details the contribution made by Cuban exiles to the preservation of democracy in Congo. When Congo was given its independence by Belgium in 1960, most of its people believed their new government had been installed by the West and opposed it. Anti-colonial, anti-government Congolese patriots started fighting. Some were pro-communist, some anti-communist, and most didn’t know the difference. Many countries were involved on both sides of this conflict: Cuba, the Sovie...

I want my readers and audiences to know that this book is the rest of the last two books and also more about other subjects. After the publishing of the last two books, it has come to my attention that my work is not done because there are more situations that are going in Haiti and the world shortly after the fourth book was published. I wish some of the information were available to me few months before I publish the fourth book to include them on the fourth book. That is why the fifth book takes longer to publish due to some ongoing situation that is going in the world, particularly in Haiti. I know the title of the book may sound strange to some of you. Do not let the title of the book fools yo u because there is more going in the book than the title itself. I could not find any other title to give the fifth book because of the way it was design and write on a lot of subjects. Each part or chapter stands individually, but connect to each other to some degree. You will find out for yourself while reading the book.

War in the Shallows explores the operations of the Navy's three inshore task forces from 1965 to 1968. It also delv...
