The Stone In My Shoe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692615690)

The Stone in My Shoe is the true History of United States relations with Cuba and the Soviet Union in the 50s and 60s presented in a fictional setting that is fun and interesting to read. Rafael Moreno wanted to marry the girl next door and grow tobacco; however Batista and Rafael's father had other plans which thrust Rafael into the world of Santo Trafficante in Ybor City. He escaped Ybor, only to find himself in the middle of a Revolution which he did not believe in and only fought for revenge against Batista. His journey continued through the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crises, and the Kennedy Assassination. If you think you know the History of these events, you will be surprised how much propaganda has been laced into the history you have been taught. Only victors write history and automatically change history with their propaganda. Rick Burkhart is a Historian that writes history without the propaganda from any side. Howard Zinn gave us History from the perspective of the disenfranchised, now Rick Burkhart gives you history that is what happened without the adjectives of the victors or vanquished.
