The Flying Fish

The Flying Fish is the result of twenty-six years of collaboration between Professors Eduardo Zayas-Bazán and Robert J. Higgs when both were teaching at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN. This historical novel deals with the life of Luis Recio, a young idealist from the Cuban upper class who joins the fight against the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship, enlists in Fidel Castro’s guerilla band in the Sierra Maestra, and with the triumph of the revolution becomes an assistant minister of justice in the new government.

Growing disenchanted with the the revolution, Luis joins the underground and later participates in the fateful Bay of Pigs invasion. Through the eyes of the protagonist we witness the chain of events which brought communism to Cuba, sowed the seeds for the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and moved the super powers to the brink of nuclear disaster.

The Flying Fish by Eduardo Zayas-Bazán and Robert J. Higgs.
