For over 40 years the U.S. government has sought to subdue Cuba using horrific means, including assassination attempts, mercenary invasions, and threat of world nuclear annihilation, along with economic sabotage and a trade embargo.

With such fear and hatred of Cuba, why doesn't Washington just send in the marines? The answer to that question can be found in this book, Making History. It is made up of interviews and discussions with four Cuban generals conducted by three communist leaders from the United States.

When these generals published their longer memoirs, it caused a sensation in Cuba. We learned of how they were won to the revolution, and of struggles of Cuban soldiers from the Bay of Pigs, to
Bolivia, from America to Vietnam, and in Cuba itself. Those memoirs and these interviews are a clear sign that the Cuban revolution and its leadership, especially the armed forces that the US has tried to get to subvert the revolution were holding true to the revolution, and they explained some previously unknown achievements of the Cuban military. Read these interviews, done by Socialist activists from the US, and see why. The interviews in this book explain the stories of the leaders of Cuba's armed forces, the stories of fighters who changed themselves and the world and continue to want to fight.

In this book four men from very different backgrounds tell the story of how they were won to the Cuban Revolution and devoted their lives to defending it. In the first interview you'll get a fresh perspective on the question of land mines and the never-before-revealed story of how Cubans training in the Soviet Union reacted to the October 1962 Missile Crisis. It just gets better after that.

The Jafollas are known for the monumental spiritual aid, The Quest. These meditations, and you do have both Jafollas as narrators, each giving two of the four meditations, are relaxing, designed to help the individual tune into the presence of God. Each one is good for starting out the day on a positive and peaceful note and/or for ending the day as a prelude and aid to a refreshing night's sleep.

I Used this book in researching for my term paper which was on NY Politics from Roosevelt to Roosevelt. While it was not very good for the subject I found the book very interesting. Mr. Issacson's wrighting kept the book interesting.
