CUBA: La revolución que no fue es un poderoso libro de memorias y reflexiones de uno de los principales jefes clandestinos de propaganda en la lucha contra la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista. Muy pronto, al triunfo de la revolución, Emilio Guede descubrió que se estaba instalando una nueva dictadura, ahora protagonizada por el antiguo héroe de la Sierra Maestra.
Testigo de primer orden (por tener acceso a información privilegiada) de muchas interioridades desconocidas en los primeros tiempos de la revolución castrista, Guede saca a la luz datos completamente novedosos y hasta ahora desconocidos de muchos hechos que, después, han sido tergiversados con frecuencia dentro y fuera de Cuba.
También el autor ofrecce un relato detallado del juicio y fusilamiento del general Arnaldo Ochoa Sánchez, que aclara el misterio del porqué, un general condecorado como héroe nacional por el propio Fidel Castro, es fusilado dÃas antes de su esperado nombramiento como jefe del ejército más importante de Cuba.
Se trata de un libro que, en lenguaje veraz y sereno, descubre las maquinaciones secretas de una dictadura que se ha revelado como la más larga de la historia.
RESEÑA
Si Batista traicionó a la República con su golpe de Estado, Fidel Castro traicionó a la revolución y a muchos de los revolucionarios cuando inclinó su gobierno hacia el comunismo. Incluso, traicionó al propio movimiento 26 de Julio que él, Frank PaÃs, Huber Matos y tantos jóvenes idealistas habÃan creado con la ilusión de que luchaban por instaurar un gobierno democrático.
Uno de esos jóvenes era Emilio Guede. Se trataba de un cineasta y publicitario, tremendamente creativo, que no tardó en vincularse a la Resistencia CÃvica, uno de los brazos del Movimiento 26 de Julio, dirigido por el ingeniero Manuel Ray.
Lo que sigue es la historia de ese proceso relatada por uno de sus más destacados y honorables protagonistas.
