Havana, Cuba, 1960. The euphoria following the nation’s successful Revolution the previous year has waned among large sectors of the population. Cuba’s new leader, Fidel Castro, after having promised to restore democracy to the troubled island, is forcibly dragging the country down the road to Communist dictatorship. As a dark Stalinist cloud begins to envelop the country, democratic forces launch an anti-government insurgency with the hope of saving Cuba from the totalitarian darkness that threatens her. The Unbroken Circle series is the story of the fictional León family, whose peaceful, middle class existence is swept suddenly into a tempest of warfare, betrayal, and separation during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. In Book I, The Struggle Begins, Goyo León, a devoted teacher and family man, is recruited into the anti-Castro underground after his father is killed at the hands of Castro’s henchmen. Unbeknownst to Goyo, his young cousins Roberto and Emilio have also secretly joined the anti-Communist resistance through acquaintances at the University of Havana. With the three cousins becoming more deeply involved in the pro-democracy struggle every day, tensions rise as the stakes for their homeland reach an all-time high. Told with the heart-pounding suspense of a Cold War saga and the poignancy of a family drama, The Struggle Begins sets the stage for The Unbroken Circle series with electrifying power.
From Reader Reviews:
"The Struggle Begins" is a thrilling historical novel that cannot be put down . . ."

"The characters are so real that you can almost touch them."

"The Struggle Begins" is presented to the readers in a scenario that combines the reality of Cuba in 1960 with fictional characters to make a fascinating novel."

"Caught right away in the drama of a Cuban family in the midst of their struggles with Castro's revolution."

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent Book
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 agosto 2013

I just received the book this past Monday, and two days later I am 3/4 of the way through the book. Both of my parents are Cuban exiles having been forced to flee their country which they loved and adored due to Fidel Castro. I was born and raised here in Miami, Florida and grew up listening too many stories from my parents, my grandparents, family memebers, friends and professors. Dr. Triay has done a magnificent job of getting across not only the story of the struggles that many people faced in Cuba when communism took over, but the thoughts that these brave men and women felt during those difficult times. My paternal grandmother (rest her soul)always dreamed about returning to Cuba, her homeland, unfortunately she was not able to. Not a day went by while growing up that my grandmother did not mention something about Cuba. The stories of the son attending the baseball games with his father could have been a description of my father's relationship with my grandfather. My father has told me many stories of attending baseball games at that same stadium mentioned in the book. Dr. Triay has done an excellent job with this book, and I only have one request, and that is to hurry up and get the next books in this series out as soon as possible. Enjoy the book and share it with your friends and family members, so when Cuba does open up (and it will) they will understand the history, and appreciate what a great country Cuba was and will be once again. Great job Dr. Triay, and keep them coming. Un Abrazo...

Growing up in Florida in the 50's and 60's, I was very well aware of Castro and Cuba. Cuba was considered an enemy that was to be feared and despised as all of the "bomb drills" we endured in school would attest. As the threat decreased and stories from refugees surfaced, however, it became apparent what was really happening there. Hoping for a better life they had elected a man who would, instead, take them into an economic and cultural abyss. This book revealed the shock and betrayal of the Cuban people in such a personal way that my eyes have been opened to the overwheming heartbreak and utter powerlessness they felt. What is really uplifting and inspirational is how the Goyo family in this book displays the courage and fortitude to do something about their plight as so many did in the first few years of Castro's reign. I found myself when reading their story, cheering for their courage but at the same time being so fearful for their safety as they had to face incredible dangers. I was totally absorbed in their plight. This is a fast paced, informative and educational story that will capture you from the beginning and leave you hanging at the end waiting impatiently for books 2 and 3. Thank you Victor Triay for enlightening me!!!

5,0 su 5 stelle The Great Cuban-American Novel Is Here!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 luglio 2013

Victor Triay has done it! He has told the story of the tens of thousands of Cubans who fled Castro's communism in 1960. The characters develop seamlessly as the story unfolds. Before long, you feel like you have known them all your life -- as if you were part of the Leon family. Three cousins find themselves compelled to take action against the Castro government, which betrayed the Cuban people with false promises of democracy. Their religious freedom was eroding, and soon the government intervened in their family business, taking away their livelihoods. The family is separated. Those working in the anti-Castro underground are forced into exile when they are "burned".

With the excitement of a Cold War spy novel, The Struggle Begins is the poignant tale of a middle class Cuban family whose tranquil lives are shattered as the Castro government tightens its grip on the people of the island. Mild-mannered businessmen, professionals and University students become involved in underground activities designed to overthrow the Castro government. Their sacrifice, family values, bravery and patriotism shine through in Triay's work.

The Struggle Begins is a masterpiece. Bring on Book 2!

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Cuba's history and how the life of the average Cuban changed after Fidel's revolution. The author has done a lot of research and has told the story through the experiences of the Leon family. I could not put this book down! It has action, intrigue, romance, family loyalty.
I love it !

The author takes you on a very personal ride. As a son of a prominent Cuban American from Miami the book depicts exactly what my Father and Uncle a bay of pigs warrior and prisoner told me about what was happening during those tumultuous times. Fidel sold them the goods and most of the people bought "equality for all" also known as communism. Thank You Victor for a nice though sad story. Just order the new book. Hopefully we can get it soon in kindle.
