Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping firsthand account of a man's harrowing experience being kidnapped and transported from New Orleans to Cuba against his will. Juan Francisco Garcia, known as Juan Francisco Rey in the United States, was a jailer in Havana who aided the escape of two prisoners, Cirillo Villaverde and Vicente Fernandez. After fleeing to the United States, Rey is lured into a web of deceit by two men, Ayala and Llorente, who act on behalf of the Spanish Consul. Rey's story unfolds as a thrilling narrative of intrigue, deception, and fear, where he is constantly threatened and manipulated by his captors. The book delves into the complex political landscape of the time, exposing the tensions between the United States and Spain over Cuba's future. The author provides insights into the methods used by the Spanish authorities to suppress dissent and maintain control over their colonies. Rey's ordeal highlights the dangers faced by those who opposed the Spanish regime and sought freedom from its clutches. Through a series of conversations and encounters, Rey reveals the intricate machinations of his abduction, shedding light on the motivations of those involved and the lengths they were willing to go to silence him. The book offers a unique perspective on the struggle for freedom and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect themselves from tyranny.
