Walking Back the Cat

About the Book

Cuba has been at the center of considerable intrigue since the arrival of the first European explorers in the 16th century. The people of the island have endured military conquest, foreign intervention in its internal affairs; dictatorships supported by one foreign power or another and unparallel suffering through several generations. Somehow, the people have withstood the test of time and continue to hope for a better future. There is an incredible amount of brutality in the world and Fidel Castro's dictatorship has generated a large share of the brutality. A lot of it has targeted the United States and its people. That's where our spies come in to provide sufficient warning before evil strikes. They help preserve the integrity of the United States against evil dictators like Castro. Despite of the work of our intelligence agencies Castro and his henchmen got a way with a lot, including the torture of American POWs in Vietnam. An unexpected opportunity developed to settle an old score. A historical novel is neither strictly historical news nor strictly fictional in character. History is a chronological and systematic account of the past. It is defined as the totality of human experience. A novel, on the other hand, is a fictitious tale inspired by actual events, dealing with the adventures of imaginary people and depicting the different varieties of the human character. Some events and characters depicted have been taken from real life others are entirely fictional.
