From Havana to DC: the Rise of Cuban Americans in Florida Politics is a story told through the eyes of someone who was a witness to history. Carlos Orta worked with most of the Cuban Americans who were the first, the trailblazers, the pioneers, and this is his love letter to them.--"Orta's book is not just about politics; it's about the human spirit. It's about the power of resilience, the unwavering belief in a dream that transcends borders and generations. This is the story of Cuban Americans, a story etched in freedom, whispered in dreams, and forever shaping an ever-changing America." - Leslie Sanchez "This is not just a trip down memory lane of some bye-gone era of cooperation and bipartisanship. Rather it can serve as a roadmap to guide current leaders and help them accomplish great things when they put extreme partisanship and blind allegiances aside." - Alex Penelas
