Product Description
In UNVANQUISHED, Cuban-American historian Enrique Encinosa gives us the first comprehensive history in English of the forty-six-year war that Cuba’s people have waged against Fidel Castro. A concise and riveting narrative, mainly in the voices of its participants, UNVANQUISHED unmistakably shows Castro’s main opposition is not the exile community in Miami or the U.S. government, but rather the Cuban people who must live under his rule.

About the Author
Enrique Encinosa, born in Havana in 1949, attended high school in Hammond, Indiana and college at Purdue University, where he developed an unusual dual interest: history and boxing. To this day, he retains a strong vocation in the sport as a trainer, manager, promoter, consultant to feature films and author of two books, including the recently-released “Sugar and Chocolate: A History of Cuban Boxing”. It is as a historian, however, that Encinosa has had his major influence. In 1989 he published widely praised studies, in English and Spanish, of an event practically unknown outside Cuba: a five-year-long guerrilla war against the Castro regime by inhabitants in the central region of the Escambray.
Encinosa’s historical works include “Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution”, “Escambray: The Forgotten War” and “Cuba at War”. All have been bestsellers in South Florida, where Enrique now lives and works as a news editor for Miami’s Spanish-language Radio MambÃ.
