We Remember Cuba: A Republication of John H. Parker's Yankee You Can't Go Home Again

Summary: Nostalgic short stories about life in Cuba pre-Castro -
Review: A must-read book for anyone who has ever traveled or lived in Cuba in the pre-Castro years; as American "colonistas" (as we were called) I returned to my heartfelt memories as a child who grew up as an American living in Cuba. The personal vignettes, as described by John Parker, celebrate the way we ALL should remember Cuba for its customs, traditions, and -- most importantly -- how those young, patriotic men gave their lives for their attempt to "free Cuba" from the dictatorship of Fidel Castro. This book has been donated for the "Brothers to the Rescue" (Hermanos al Rescate) effort towards the continuing effort to see our return to Cuba someday.

The impact of such a small book has been evidenced by reviews we have seen in Latin quarters around major U.S. cities, resulting in requests for finding this book (privately sold by Golden Quill Inc. through the efforts of Giles Gianelloni now reachable at "[e-mail]"). Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida, had carried the book until sold out.

Summary: A Must read for everyone...
Review: This book brought back many fond memories of my youth. Back in the pre-Castro years I had many Americans friends who lived in Cuba. The list of essays by John Parker presented in this book are very informative. They relay the romance, humor and wonderful Zest for life of the Cuban people before the tragedy Castro's revolution. I have enjoyed reading this book. I will never forget my American--Cuban friends.
