In 1950, Puerto Rican nationalists stunned the world when they succeeded in destroying the international image of the United States as the 'Champion of Democracy' by declaring the Republic of Puerto Rico and extending the reach of the rebellion into the heartland of the United States through a direct attack on President Truman. |Times of Upheaval| is the product of a three-year investigation by a journalist who delved into personal and official documents, including the FBI's so-called Secret Files on Puerto Rico, newspapers, books and theses at the University of Puerto Rico, and interviews with witnesses to the events, as well as with the revolutionaries and their families." -- Translation provided by NLSBy René Marqués. 1995

Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLSBy Raquel Pagno, María João Patricio Martinho. 2016
