Summary

The book consist in a biography narrating author's life since childhood in Havana City, Cuba after being born under a Socialist-Communist dictatorship, then the years on communist boarding schools with interesting and funny stories, later becoming a jet military fighter pilot in the ex Soviet Union including flight training narratives, poems, and finally confronting the "Gestapo" of the Cuban dictator behind bars, with interviews and pictures.The title in English translates as "Born Motherland or Death "which was a common slogan used in society, even still today after many years, and by the Cuban dictators and their blind followers. Here I am adding an excerpt from the Prologue:"...Born Motherland or Death is an autobiographical book that narrates the experience lived by a young man born under the so called 'Cuban Revolution' led by Fidel Castro from 1959 ...He dreads this suffering will remain erased as it pertains to the story which he lived in the Cuba of ' those days ' under the influence of a totalitarian system guided by the hand of the sickle and the hammer of the Muscovite Kremlin, the author retells his experience and conversion to the Christian Faith founded by Jesus of Nazareth 2000 years ago, not without describing the procedures that the Socialistic Camp of the times used to indoctrinate the youth in the Marxist-Leninist conceptions of a Communist Empire and its territorial ambitions led by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics...More than one decade has passed since the author's arrival to South Florida. A graduate from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) with a Masters of Science (MS) in Spanish Language Education; graduated from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) with a Bachelor in Arts and Spanish Language, both in United States; and graduated as a jet military air force fighter pilot and Tactical Command from Krasnodar Military Air Force Institute A.K. Serov in the USSR. In the year 2000 he obtained his US citizenship.
