Palabras esperadas. Memorias de Francisco H. Tabernilla Palmero (Cuba y sus jueces/ Cuba and Its Judges) (Spanish Edition) (Collecion Cuba y Sus Jueces)

To reconstruct history, it is important to obtain first hand information from its protagonists. Francisco Silito Tabernilla, chief officer in the Cuban military, accompanied Fulgencio Batista during his 1952 military coup and stayed with him until December 31, 1958 when, together, they fled the country. Today, Tabernilla believes that even with the corruption of that time, the military coup was a mistake since general presidential elections had already been scheduled.

Contained are black and white photos, bibliographical references and copies of important documents and correspondence between Tabernilla and Batista, as well as other key figures. Read more
