The Flaming Island Paperback Book Donald Barr Chidsey Historical Fiction 1959

A novel of the Cuban Revolution

The Lady and the Guerilla

From the moment George Heritage entered Cuban waters he was in trouble. First the Spanish coast guard shelled his vessel, then he learned his shipmates had deceived him, and finally he found himself standing against a stone wall awaiting the firing squad!
After a fiery rebel senorita had snatched him from the jaws of death, the American engineer knew he couldn't return to peaceful civilization. For with a price on his head placed by both sides, he had to quit being just George Heritage, and instead assume the daredevil identity of Captain Ratonero – the Dynamite Man!
