The Cuban Exodus: in Search of Freedom Felipe Calzadilla

The Cuban saga of the latter half of the 20th Century is an epic, heartbreaking tale of global politics and grand history. From Castro to Kennedy, the CIA to the Mafia, Communism to Capitalism, Totalitarianism to Democracy, the actors have been players on the world stage, and the issues and conflicts have been titanic. Felipe Calzadilla is one of those people, a man who has lived and survived and triumphed, through the entire story of modern Cuba. Born and raised on the island, he came to the U. S. in the aftermath of the revolution. He raised a family, built a life, became an American. And he never forgot his origins, his homeland, his soul. Felipe's is not only an extraordinary story but also a valuable testimony - one man's lifelong journey from one country to another, one world to another, one existence to another. It is a testimony worth reading. It is a journey worth taking.
