Babalu Radio Hour tonight | 9:00 PM EDT
Join us tonight when we welcome back Antonio de la Cova, Ph.D. for a conversation on all things Cuba. I plan to elicit lots of info from his personal research on the extent of Cuban espionage in the United States. as well as discussing the events in Russia and Georgia.
Dr. de la Cova is the author of The Moncada Attack: Birth of the Cuban Revolution available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble online.
His website is a tremendous research resource.
The call-in number is (646) 652-4506, or you can send an email to me or Henry with questions or comments. The show begins at 9:00 PM EDT. Don't miss the opportunity to call in and participate. Be there. Aloha!

That book is "a bomb", a complete revelation for me, someone from the so-called generation of "hombres nuevos". I'm reading it and today I've started chapter Four.
It's a killer, a must, something that have to be documented for history, and for the sake of all those that have lost their lives fighting and/or trying to scape castro's scam.

I'm not exactly a fan but the book is great and the website is amazing. It's like a Cuban Google - if you need to know anything about Cuba or LatAm. It's there.

WOW! His website is a treasure-trove full of items of Latin America. I barely glazed through it, and I will definetely check it out after work.

LOL, Cubanita. I think you meant to say that the book was "da bomb" not "a bomb."

Mea culpa, George...you know, I speak (and sometimes write) ingles con barreras but that was exactly the intention.
With that book I'm in that phase that I have to finish it because I have to and I can not wait another second to do it.
Profe, don't worry, I've been checking the transcripts and everything in your website. As thecardinal said, it's a great resource. Thank you for putting it together! and I'll keep in touch.
