Our History is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban RevolutionPathfinder, 2005 - 216 pages A chapter in the chronicle of the Cuban Revolution, as told by those on the front lines of that ongoing epic.

Each became a general in Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces. Here they talk about the historic place of Chinese immigration to Cuba, as well as more than five decades of revolutionary action and internationalism, from Cuba to Angola, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
