COLD WAR-ERA CUBAN EXILE PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ONLINE

Coral Gables, FL - An abridged version of the finding aid of The Truth About
Cuba Committee, Inc. Records and a selection of this organization's
publications are now available online through the Cuban Heritage Digital
Collection of the Otto G. Richter Library of the University of Miami at
http://www.library.miami.edu/chcdigital/chc0193_main.html.  Founded in 1961,
The Truth About Cuba Committee, Inc. (TACC) sought to disseminate
information about communist Cuba and the threat it posed to the United
States.  Led by the inexhaustible Luis V. Manrara and with the support of
contributing members from around the world, TACC published hundreds of
bulletins, flyers, brochures, and other publications that it distributed to
members throughout the world as well as to libraries, government agencies,
and the media.  

"The Truth About Cuba Committee was formed at a very heated moment during
the Cold War," states Esperanza B. de Varona, Head of the Cuban Heritage
Collection (CHC).  "It was established as a response to the failed Bay of
Pigs invasion of Cuba and was most active at a time when the focus of
tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union revolved around
Cuba.  With titles such as 'Don't Worry, the Enemy Still is 90 Miles Away'
and 'How Cuba was Communized,' the publications we are making available
online vividly illustrate the language and imagery of the Cold War from a
Cuban exile point of view."
 
The Truth About Cuba Committee, Inc. Records is one of several collections
being made available online as part of the Cuban Heritage Digital
Collection.  To learn more about this project and view other digitized
collections, visit http://www.library.miami.edu/chcdigital/.
