THE HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE [HNS2019] 
WELCOMES PRESENTER ROBERT N. MACOMBER 

Saturday June 22, 2019 [8-9am] 
** in the Baltimore 3 Room ** 

Topic: “Revolution In Paradise: The Perils and Joys of Researching 
American Historical Novels About Revolution Inside Communist Cuba” 
Program Description: Typically, when people think of “revolution” and Cuba, 1959 images of 
Fidel Castro come to mind. But there is a significant twist in Robert N. Macomber’s presentation, 
for it refers to the original revolution in Cuba, a thirty-year (1868-1898) struggle by Cuban patriots 
for independence from Spain. When people think of ‘paradise’ and Cuba, sounds of upbeat music 
while riding in classic convertibles often presents a more modern image, but only after spending 
over a decade of research trips on this island gem, can the fullest understanding be revealed. 
Mr. Macomber will share his unique experiences, sometimes daunting, sometimes hilarious!
