Stephen Kimber’s new book: “What Lies Across the Water- The Real Story of The Cuban Five” to begin U.S. Tour

As part of the international call to actions to commemorate the 15th 
anniversary of the unjust imprisonment of the Cuban 5, the International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban 5 is organizing an East Coast 
tour with Canadian author Stephen Kimber who will be presenting his 
newly released book “What Lies Across the Water-The Real Story of The 
Cuban Five.” The book is the result of an exhaustive research effort, 
including the author’s review of more than 20,000 pages of court records of the longest case in U.S. history, that he presents in a clear and 
objective narrative. Kimber’s style is riveting from the first page to 
the last as he leads the reader through the twists and turns of their 
mission leading up to the arrest of the Cuban 5. The book shows how 
embedded the case is in U.S. – Cuba relations while being so hidden from the U.S. public. Stephen Kimber is a professor of journalism at the 
University of King’s College in Halifax and an award-winning writer, 
editor and broadcaster.

From September 11-17 Kimber will speak to U.S. audiences in Washington DC, 
Maryland, New York (Manhattan and Brooklyn) and in Boston where American linguist, philosopher, and political scientist Noam Chomsky will be 
speaking with Kimber about the Cuban 5.  A second tour is being planned 
to take place on the West Coast in early November.

“What Lies Across the Water” represents a new and important tool in 
explaining the Cuban 5, especially to those who know nothing about the 
case. Although activists familiar with the case of the Cuban 5 will find new information, the tour is aimed at reaching new audiences who will 
be moved to end this long injustice.
