Published April 17, 2024

Nelson Rodriguez Chartrand, a Cuban exile, recounts his experiences of daily life under Cuban Communism and how this period was tainted with deception and lies at the hands of the Cuban government. Analyzing topics from press freedom to education, he exposes the deceit of the Cuban government, from lying outright to the public to disseminating misinformation and manipulating the truth. Survival was a struggle on a day-to-day basis. The Revolution of Promises (Archway Publishing), translated by Seligman is an interesting and deeply personal dive into the lives of citizens during Cuban Communism.
