He has military and parliamentary experience and has written in periodicals, his late father held high office in the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and his brother became a Cabinet Minister in Canada. Being married to a Cuban and spending the majority of his time at home there he has drawn upon his knowledge of politics and the unusual experience of living in Cuba as a member of a Cuban family, to explain the realities of life for the average Cuban away from the popular tourist resorts.
In writing ‘Cuba Lifting the Veil’ Carlyle MacDuff has analysed the actions of the ruling Castro family disclosing the effects of their communist based politics and decisions since 1959 upon the people of Cuba and reflecting his concern that in particular politicians in the free world should know the truth. Although described by the author as ”only a short book” he has succinctly lifted the veil that has sheltered the Castro family regime and the Communist Party of Cuba for many years, due to the very restricted access permitted to foreign journalists and by doing so provided pertinent facts for many of those who currently envisage or hope to promote change in Cuba.
The essence of his message to the hopeful is to become fully informed and address the reality of the current political position within Cuba. Based upon his personal experience of living in Cuba he questions what Raul Castro Ruz has actually contributed since becoming President towards change in the lives of Cubans, or whether the external hopes are a consequence of masterly political cosmetics? Is the current consideration by the free world merely a reflection of wishful thinking rather than a response to actual actions? Do a few cosmetic changes constitute a change of thought by the Castro family regime or a demonstration of Raul Castro’s manipulative political talents? Carlyle MacDuff concludes his informed description and analysis of Cuba today by writing:
‘For the people of Cuba there remains only that faint hope which they have tenaciously clung onto for so many long years. Hope for the younger generations that they may yet know freedom and opportunity to live in their beautiful country free of repression, with freedom of expression, freedom of the media and freedom to vote for political parties of choice. Cubans deserve no less for only then will they become members of an open society in a free world that waits to welcome them with open arms. Liberty and that poignant cry for freedom beckon and humanity demands.’показать меньше
