American Rebels in Cuba<br />
NEW!<br />
Neill Macaulay and his wife Nancy met and married just as Neill<br />
was heading off to fight in the Cuban Revolution. Little did they<br />
know what happened next would be the most influential events in<br />
both their lives. A wonderful history of a man and the Revolution in<br />
49 minutes, containing vivid personal details and a chronicle of the<br />
Revolution. It also contains a bit of US history and raises questions<br />
about our state department and why a source like this was ignored<br />
as Vietnam loomed on the horizon is a vivid account of the months<br />
Macaulay spent in the hills of Pinar del Rio with the tough, earthy<br />
and often brutal Cuban rebels of the 26th of July Movement.<br />
Neill Macaulay is a native of South Carolina who has spent a lot of<br />
time in Latin America and East Asia. He served in the U.S. Army in<br />
Korea in 1957-58 and in Fidel Castro’s army in Cuba in 1958-59.<br />
Returning to the U.S. in 1960, he attended graduate school at the<br />
University of Texas, where he received a Ph.D. in History in 1965.<br />
He spent most of the next two years in Brazil on a postdoctoral<br />
fellowship researching the 1924-26 revolutionary movement<br />
led by Luis Carlos Prestes. For twenty years, beginning in 1966,<br />
Macaulay taught Latin American history at the University of Florida.<br />
He has published five books in that field and has not held a<br />
regular job since 1986.<br />
