Graciela C. Catasús' New Book 'The Revolution That Wasn't' Brings a Raw and Potent Journal That Explores Historical and Political Ties Across Countries

MIAMI, February 8, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Fulton Books author Graciela C. Catasús, a writer who studied anthropology and holds a master's in public administration, has completed her most recent book "The Revolution That Wasn't": a historical-political fusion of Cuba's and United States' history coupled with a personal memoir of her upbringing in a military household. 

As a preface to her book, Catasús explains her work as "a primer in Cuban history in its relationship with its northern neighbor and mentor, the United States, before the Castro takeover; however, it is a great deal more. Aside from relating several experiences while growing up in La Habana, there is also documentation of Cuba's excellent economic strides and outstanding placement among Latin American and international nations, its great educational system, and the impressive 1940 Constitution. Primarily, the book aims at debunking the myth that Cuba required a revolution to cure any economic ills and/or that the Castro revolution delivered any improvements to the island.

"In the process of relating the history of Cuba from its discovery by Columbus in 1492 through its travails seeking independence from Spain, and later being incorporated to the United States as a protectorate before its independence; many interesting political twists and turns are uncovered, along with glimpses into the actions of presidents, military men, politicians, U.S. newspaper barons, and even spies. Throughout these developments, aspects of the Cuban national character that help explain much of what unfolded in January 1959 are exposed, as well as a U.S. White House perpetrator who has largely escaped historical scrutiny.

"Even though the Castro takeover of the island came to be on January 1959, this was not a disconnected occurrence; as several generally unidentified issues had been flying under the radar, helping to generate this seizure of power. Also, when considering the continuous United States meddling into Cuba's national affairs before and after its independence; as well as its veiled support for the Castro forces but last-minute refusal to interfere in Cuba's affairs to preclude the imminent Castro Communist occupation, a clearer picture of the real culprit comes into focus.

"Lastly, this book is about fairness, learning from history, and personal growth; as Catasús describes her evolution from a 17-year-old Cuban refugee in 1959 into an acculturated United States citizen who understands her adopted country's history and democratic form of government and the similar hopes she holds for her fellow Cuban Americans—alongside a yearning for long-overdue historical justice."

Published by Fulton Books, Graciela C. Catasús' incisive account tries to demonstrate to the reading public, how the Island of Cuba has been the subject of possibly the worst historical sham of all times. To accomplish this, the author skillfully weaves both the histories of Cuba and the U.S. together with her unusually perceptive childhood and disciplined upbringing.
