This book presents a meticulously-researched biography on Guillermo
Belt Ramirez, one of Cuba's most important diplomats of the 20th
century. As Ambassador, Belt represented his homeland in the United
States and the Soviet Union as the Cold War turned wartime allies
into enemies. He also represented a generation of diplomats who,
after bearing witness to the horrors of war, had the resolve to
join to create the United Nations and regional organizations such
as the Organization of American States. Belt's success in the
diplomatic and political spheres were met with the pain and
hardship of exile. Thanks to his faith, the love of his family, and
an unwavering sense of patriotism, Belt persevered, maintaining his
passion for Cuba's democratic values and ideals until his passing.
In doing so, he became a respected and sought after voice for Cuban
exiles in Washington's diplomatic and government circles. This book
explores several key questions: * Who was Guillermo Belt and what
role did he play in Cuban politics and diplomacy? * What was Cuba's
role in world affairs during and after World War II? * How does
Cuba's diplomatic history help explain current U.S.-Cuban relations
within a broader political and historical context as reflected by
Ambassador Belt's life?
