Memories of Guantanamo Bay, 1960-1962 Book Description
This personal account of life on the military installation at Guantanamo Bay takes place during the turbulent early 1960s, shortly after Fidel Castro came to power and during John F. Kennedy's presidency. Written from the perspective of a Navy wife, the story details her involvement with the Cuban people who were employed on the Naval Base. The narrative ends abruptly on October 22, 1962--the Cuban Missile Crisis and evacuation. The book contains 275 historic GTMO photos, maps, and documents.
