Lies and to the Wall (!Mentira! y !Paredon!)

The novel of the Cuban Revolution, Hurricane Road #5

By: Roger C Horton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

It’s: Action, its Romance, its Love, won and lost, family squabbles, parties, weddings, and funerals, mixed with gun-running, escapes and rescues all amidst the divisiveness of a many-sided revolution. It drips with political intrigue, enthralls with bold desperate ventures and the characters will win your heart as they entice you back into a time and places that you’ve heard of but never experienced or understood. Me ---I was a kid, was in and out of Cuba during late 1950s, but what does a kid know? I knew that Miami seemed like a dump compared with Havana. The city was wild on every social level and the tourist loved it. An anything goes atmosphere, with: movie stars, gangsters, soldiers, police; the conflicting variations of passionate revolutionary fervor. All over the Island and in Florida, an adventurous kid gets the spirit of things, but --- the truth about everything going on --- Hey, nobody knew. It was a period of unbelievable intrigue, misinformation, and misunderstanding with multiple players, plots within plots. It was violent --- that’s civil war. Lies and to the Wall, is woven into the period, 1956 thru early 1960. Check out names, places, and events --- You will find most of it is spot on. It is a novel though --- Who can say what people said, or thought? Mostly, it’s a guess. I will promise this. If you want a feel for the time, and understanding of what happened, where it was going and how we got where we are today, read 20 history books, or read Lies and to the Wall (¡Mentira! y ¡Paredón!). Read, live those years and enjoy yourself. It is one complicated period of time, and exciting, “Like the book!”
