Miguel tried, but failed, to persuade Jorge to join them.

Now he was also exposing her to the politics of the rebel cause. When his views caused him to be detained as an illegal alien, Maria and Pilar, at his instruction, fled to Cuba.Imbued with her father's deep love of her homeland, Pilar the scrappy girl from Guantanamo meets her destiny with courage. At the request of the rebels she infiltrates the CIA. Using sex as a weapon, Pilar becomes a revolutionary heroine when she uncovers a plot to wipe out the leaders of the Revolution.

Pilar, the girl from Guantanamo, courageiously prepapres to meet her destiny." - from the rear outer jacket. "Don Roth may be a literary late bloomer, but he is a born storyteller whose vivid tale is told with stunning urgency." - Robert Klane, filmaker and author, screenwriter of Where's Poppa?, Weekend at Bernie's, and National Lampoon's European Vacation. "Don Roth's riveting tale of Cuban life on the brink of the Revolution is fresh, sexy, and exciting, and reads like it was written by someone who was there to witness it all - and Roth was." - Peter Callahan, award-winning filmmaker, writer/director of Last Ball and Against the Current. "Set against the backdrop of revolutionary Cuba, The Girl from Guantanamo tells the story of Pilar Ruiz, an eighteen-year-old woman who joins Castro's rebels and in 1958 changes the course of history. Don Roth's novel follows Pilar's epic journey as she is thrown into the chaos and violence of Cuba's war. After her family flees the brutal oppression of Batista's rule, Pular finds herself living in comfort in the prosperous metropolis of 1950s Miami. But her life is soon thrown into turmoil when her father is accused by the FBI of supporting the rebel cause in Cuba, and she and her mother escape Miami to return to her homeland. Betrayed by a family friend pledged to help her, Pilar is forced to commit a desperate and violent act to escape a life of sexual slavery. Her survival will now depend on her ingenuity. Taking a false identity, she starts working at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base where she becomes comrades with rebel sympathizers. When Pilar learns the fate of Castro's revolution relies on her uncovering a US mission to destroy his soldiers, she uses her beauty and charm to pry the secret from the powerful and ruthless man who is pursuing her. The book's author, Don Roth, was a naval officer stationed in Guantanamo during the Cuban Revolution on the battleship the USS Raymond. His personal experiences infuse the story with vibrant detail as his cast of fictional characters intertwines with real historical personalities from 1950s Cuba and Miami." - from the inner front jacket flap. Benight, Janice (jacket design, book design and map of Cuba); Toffell, Simon (author photograph) (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).
