Freedom Betrayed (The Unbroken Circle)
Victor Andres Triay, Ph.D., was born in Miami, Florida, to Cuban exile parents. He has been a history professor at Middlesex Community College in Middletown, Connecticut, since 1992.  His first historical work, Fleeing Castro: Operation Pedro Pan and the Cuban Children’s Program (University Press of Florida, 1998), was the first book to explore the early 1960s program that brought over 14,000 Cuban children to the United States as unaccompanied refugees. His second book, Bay of Pigs: An Oral History of Brigade 2506 (University Press of Florida, 2001), was the recipient of the 2001 Samuel Proctor Oral History Prize.     In 2013, Triay entered the world of historical fiction with his three-book family saga, The Unbroken Circle. The story depicts the fictional Leon family, whose peaceful, middle class existence is swept suddenly into a tempest of warfare, betrayal, and separation during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. Book I, The Struggle Begins, was released in late July, 2013. The present work,  Freedom Betrayed (Book II), was released in early 2014. Book III, On Freedom's Shores, is scheduled to be released in mid-2014.
