BREAD and BULLETS is a "tell all" book of how a hard-working commercial baker turned his small, one delivery van operation into a multi-million dollar enterprise that served upscale restaurants, hotels and grocery chains up and down the East Coast of Florida only to have it crumble in a hail of bullets. When Rosario Liotta decided to expand his bakery and open a chain of delicatessens/cafes similar to Panera Bread, he caught the eye of Gurino, a man with underworld connections. Gurino decided he wanted a piece of the loaf. When Liotta refused, Gurino used verbal threats and, eventually, force in the form of a knife and a .38 caliber. Liotta defended himself with his own legally owned gun. Since this was two years before the Stand Your Ground laws went into effect, Liotta was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. With the passage of time, the Broward County prosecutor learned the Gurino had been the hit man hired to murder Gus Boulis, the founder of Miami Subs and the SunCruz Casino Line. The Boulis murder was the longest running investigation in Florida history until it was solved in 2013. Boulis' killing had ties to the Bush Whitehouse through D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramhoff and his business partner, Adam Kidan, the founder of Dial-a-Mattress. From his days as a successful baker and businessman to standing in the spotlight for a crime he did not commit, Rosario Liotta never let his unjust conviction turn his easy disposition into a desire for revenge. This is the story of how one man's humble beginnings as a baker's son led to a road paved with Bread and Bullets.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a wave of political violence swept across the globe, causing widespread alarm. Described by the media of the day as “propaganda of the deed,” assassinations, bombings and assaults carried out by anarchists—both individuals and conspirators—were intended to incite revolution and established the precedents of modern terrorism. Much has been written about these actions and the responses to them yet little attention has been given to the actors themselves. Drawing on wide range of sources, the author profiles numerous insurgents, their deeds and their motives.

Examines the foods, food supplies, and the transformation of the food industry needed to supply a military that grew from one to ten million over night, as well as the menus and the difficulties on the homefront. Includes examples of menus from heads of state, princesses and generals; as well as recipes for, and comments from, the fighting men and women.--Publisher.

Bread or Bullets! is the first thoroughly documented history of organized labor in nineteenth-century Cuba. Based on research in libraries and archives in Cuba, Spain, the United States, and the Netherlands, it focuses on how urban laborers joined together in collective action during the transition from slave to free labor and in the last decades of Spanish colonial rule in Cuba. Nineteenth-century Cuban colonial society and the slavery system sharply divided Cuba’s inhabitants by race and origin. This deeply affected the labor movement that started in the late 1850s, as it became difficult to mobilize workers with common interests across the diverse ranks. Paradoxically, this also drove the workers to build class ties across divisions of origin, race, and degrees of freedom. This formed the basis for developing collective action. In the 1860s, the labor movement, under the leadership of white creoles and Spaniards, called peninsulares, joined the reformist movement of the creole bourgeoisie. The outbreak of the Ten Years’ War in 1868 created an extremely repressive atmosphere for labor that forced thousands of Cuban workers to flee to the United States. After the peace treaty of El Zanjon in 1878, the workers who returned and those who had remained used their experience to rebuild th Cuban labor movement at an impressive pace. This common goal led Cuban workers to fight continuously against divisions along racial and ethnic lines and to replace their moderate unionist and strongly pro-Spanish leadership with anarchists. The end of slavery accelerated the evolution of Cuban politics and the expansion of the labor movement. Spain’s shift toward reactionary colonial policies in 1890 halted this process and accentuated anticolonial sentiment among the popular classes. This helped the left wing of the separatist movement, led by Jose Marti, to launch the War of Independence in 1895 with strong working-class support. Bread of Bullets! is an important work for anyone interested in understanding Cuban society, Spanish colonialism, and labor relations in Latin America.
