On September 4, 1933 a sergeant with a pistol took over the office of the Cuban army's chief of staff and promoted himself to colonel, thus beginning a stormy period of Cuban history that would end only with the rise of Fidel Castro. The first-person testimony offers previously unavailable insights and information on that decisive period of Cuba's history.
Justo Carrillo provides a new perspective on the University of Havana student government, Directorio Estudiantil Universitario (DEU), and their impact on Cuba's political destiny. Carrillo shows how the Cuban people were frequently manipulated by tyrants previous to Fidel Castro. He analyzes the failure of other opposition organizations to stand against the betrayal of the people, leaving the DEU alone to defend the liberties wrested from Spain.
He also explains the role of American minister Sumner Welles in a tumultuous series of events.
This translation provides many valuable insights for the English language student of Cuban history, as well as for political scientists and Cuba area specialists. Cuba 1933 allows the reader to understand the heart and soul of the DEU and its distinctive role in the Cuban struggle for true autonomy and freedom - a struggle that continues today. The text is illustrated by photographs and documents of great historical value.
