Before the Revolution: The Untold Story of 100 Years of Friendship Between The United States and Cuba highlights an era when US-Cuba partnerships in diplomacy, war alliances, commerce, banking, and agriculture fueled the flames of great financial prosperity and scientific advances in both countries. It also created a lasting bond among their people, marked by great advances in the fine arts, music, entertainment, television, cinema, baseball, and literature--forever shortening the distance between Key West and Havana. During the US-Cuba era of progress, the friendship between these two countries was strong, and their differences were few. It was an era of common goals and hope. The future had never seemed brighter. Today, the story of the US-Cuba years of progress lives on in the structures it left behind on the island. They stand as silent witnesses to this beautiful and rewarding time. Journey with author Mario Cartaya into the history of this era, documented in the historical records of the time--catalogued in the US Library of Congress, US National Archives, US Department of State, US Naval Mission, various academic and museum archives, as well as in concurrent national/international newspapers and journals. Discover the documents, persons, and buildings that attest to the US-Cuba story of friendship rooted in shared human values, cultures, needs, assistance, and goodwill. Before the Revolution offers a richer human perspective that can advance dialogues aimed at resetting the relationship between these two nations. For the US and Cuba, the time for this conversation has come.
