Exclusive interview with George Fowler III, author of "My Cubra Libre". MY CUBA LIBRE By George J. Fowler III - The Quest To Oust Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro and Bring Him to Justice! Amazon: tinyurl.com/mddnebo George Fowler was born in Havana, Cuba, on October 12, 1950. The Fowlers were descendants of the British Consul to Cuba who had arrived there in the early 1800s. Mr. Fowler's grandfather was also named George Fowler. He was a successful sugar planter in Cuba who married a New Orleans native, Lise Perrilliat. Mr. Fowler, his wife, children and grandchildren reside in New Orleans. On January 1, 1959, Fidel Castro took dictatorial control of Cuba and has ruled with an iron fist for the past five decades. Mr. Fowler became a Cuban refugee in the United States at the age of nine. His father died shortly after their arrival in the United States. Because of the family's dire financial circumstances, he began to work at that age and by the time he became an attorney, he had worked in thirty-six low paying jobs. In 1975, he graduated from Tulane Law School, joined a near 200 year old law firm and twenty-five years ago opened what is now one of the best maritime, energy, and international law firms in the world. The firm is multi-national with offices in many cities. Mr. Fowler is an active litigator, having come up against some of the top legal names in the country. He has practiced not only in the courts of the United States, but worked on cases worldwide. Although Mr. Fowler embraced American values and reaped its opportunities, he never forgot his homeland. Inspired by the bravery of his uncle, Alberto Fowler, who first fought with Castro's forces against Batista, Cuba's dictator, then afterwards against Castro in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion, Mr. Fowler vowed to do whatever he could to oust the dictator and obtain freedom for Cuba. He denounced Castro in every forum he could, starting at the age of eighteen where he met his wife, Cristina, in college. In 1989, he joined the Cuban American National Foundation, the largest and most powerful anti-Castro organization. He soon was appointed its General Counsel, a position he holds today. Using his legal background, he has tried to have Castro brought to justice for his crimes against humanity. He presented the case before the U.S. Congress seeking the indictment of Castro for the murders of the Brothers to the Rescue pilots, mercilessly shot down by Castro's MiGs within ten miles of the United States. He also sought to have Castro indicted in other countries, including Spain, where he filed a criminal complaint alleging 17,000 political assassinations, torture, imprisonment and rapes by the Castro government. Mr. Fowler has sought to have Fidel Castro arrested and brought to justice. Mr. Fowler has brought legal actions and claims against those who have defamed the Foundation in an effort to weaken its struggle against the Castro government. He assisted as counsel in the Elian Gonzalez case where he denounced Castro's crimes in the world media. Mr. Fowler has lived in New Orleans for over forty years where he is committed to a variety of worthy causes, including support for the Latin American community, the fight against corruption, civil and human rights, and promoting international trade with Latin America.
