About the Book This book is a recollection of stories about the author's beloved homeland and his exiled life in the United States during the last 42 years. The events occurred before, during and after the Cuban Revolution and how they relate to his life experiences that drove him to be "A Reluctant Revolutionary". The author manages to blend historical events, dialogues, real names and his own imagination to present the story according to his personal conception.
