What I Learned About Cuba By Going To Cuba

Author: Antonio R. Zamora

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT one man’s trips to Cuba and about the relationship between the United States and that little nation.

Born in Havana in 1941, Antonio Zamora came to the United States in the early 1960s. At the age of twenty, he took part in the failed invasion at the Bay of Pigs, was captured and imprisoned for nearly two years, and then was released with most other prisoners as a result of negotiations involving the International Red Cross in 1962. The next year, the young Antonio accepted a Commission as an Officer in the United States Navy. Antonio Zamora became a United States citizen in 1971.

Since his first trip back to his homeland in 1995, he has been to Cuba more than forty times, traveling not only under specific licenses to attend meetings and conferences, but also under a general license to conduct professional research, as well as on family visits. It is unusual for a Cuban American to travel to Cuba so often. In his case, it is even more strange because of Antonio Zamora’s age and political background. As a result of all these comings and goings, he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge well worth sharing.

Simply put, this book is about what he has learned about Cuba by going to Cuba. In the immediate months and years ahead, the discussion within the United States and within the Cuban American community concerning “what to do about Cuba” is certain to increase significantly. Without a doubt, this slender volume will most assuredly be contributing in a positive way to that important discussion.
