Editorial Book Review:

By Lauren Myers

This book has both historical studies and first-person stories that show how communism affected people in the Americas in a very real way. It's interesting how it ties together the past and present and shows how changes in ideas and government policies have changed whole countries. It doesn't just tell me about the past; it makes it seem real and important. It makes me think about how economic and political decisions still affect people today.

What struck me most was the way it weaves personal experiences into the larger historical narrative. It's one thing to read about revolutions, exiles, and government control in a textbook, but it's another to hear about it from someone who has lived through it. That perspective adds an emotional depth that makes it impossible to put the book down. There's a raw honesty to the writing that makes these historical events seem more important. The book gives me more than just facts; it gives me a new way to think about the things that shape cultures.

The exploration of propaganda, disinformation, and political rhetoric felt especially relevant in today’s world. The book does a great job of showing how people are affected, often without meaning to be, and how governments can change how people think about them to stay in power. Comparing different countries is very interesting because it shows how similar strategies can have very different results based on the country's economy, culture, and the choices made by its leaders. I learned that people often don't notice how history repeats itself until it's too late.

This book is unique because it balances history with human stories, which makes it both informative and deeply moving. Politics aren't the only thing at stake; it's also about strength, loss, and the human cost of ideological fights. It makes you think more deeply, even if you don't agree with all the points. It challenges your assumptions. Reading this book will make you think about important things for a long time after you finish it. It made me think about how people can avoid making the same mistakes by studying the past. This book will make you think and give you strength if you are interested in history, politics, or personal stories of courage.

About the Author

José Luis González

José Luis González is a Cuban-American author, film producer, and former professional American football player. Born on September 15, 1952, in Havana, Cuba, he immigrated to Miami, Florida, on November 2, 1960, at the age of eight, accompanied by his sister and parents. The family faced numerous challenges adapting to their new environment, including language barriers and discrimination.

González attended Miami Senior High School, where he excelled both academically and athletically. He later graduated from the University of Miami in 1975 with a master's degree in accounting, attending on a football scholarship. His football prowess led to a professional career, including stints with the Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Bell, and Philadelphia Eagles, before retiring in 1978.

Following his athletic career, González pursued accounting, working with firms such as Ernst & Ernst, Deloitte & Touche, and Grant Thornton. He became a Certified Public Accountant in 1984 and held Chief Financial Officer positions in various American companies.

His passion for the arts led him to executive produce films like "Shadow Force," starring Dirk Benedict, and to write, produce, and direct "The Last Semester" in 1999. Currently, González is launching his first book, "Ninety Miles," based on a true love story set during the Cuban revolution, featuring real events and characters from that era.
