Bianchi Ross's Contar a Cuba is split in two parts. In the first, the book analyzes, from an objective-subjective perspective with an attachment to the historical truth, the help given by the Cuban people to the independence of the 13 colonies. It also focuses on the years of Gabriel Valdes, the vision of Jose Marti, and many other mournful and inspiring events. In the second part, the book explores the successes and failures of the Republican period.
