OPENING THE WAY Memoirs of a Cuban exile

About OPENING THE WAY Memoirs of a Cuban exile

Manolo Reboso was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1933. His is a life that has developed across multiple and varied scenarios, some of them of great importance. This has allowed him to be an excep¬tional participant in the history of the Cuban exile and a remarkable witness of the Latin American events of our times. He was a political prisoner in Fidel Castro's jails, member of Brigade 2506, commercial ambassador of the state of Florida in Latin America, the first Cuban elected to a public office in the United Stat¬es in the 20th century, and a builder, to a great extent, of contemporary Miami. An influential character in all areas of U.S. politics at the local, state and federal level; a friend of great personalities such as Robert Kennedy and many politicians and officials of this country, as well as of Latin America and Spain. Businessman, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather... This, his memoirs, is not only a look at the past, but also a wise projection of what could be the future for all those places where he left his indelible mark. To read it is to enter into a fascinating history and a challenge to humanity's conscience. In these memoirs the reader can learn about the struggle of Cubans since 1959 to free Cuba from the totalitarian regime implemented. It is also a story of the Cuban exile and the way it transformed Miami into a first-class tourist center and also one of international trade.
