About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The Cuban exile community in Miami is where the chorus waits to comment on the action, and sometimes joins in. The exiled Fidel Castro Ruz came to Miami in 1955 for money to take the 26 Julio into the Sierra Maestra, and got it from Carlos Prío.
#2 The opera known as exile, which has been ongoing since 1959, has affected the way Miami has developed. The actions of individuals have direct consequences. The state security apparatus exists solely to be enlisted by private players.
#3 The actual events of the 1985 anniversary were similar to those of other years, where Jeane Kirkpatrick would be present to wave small souvenir flags and speak of how different the world would have been if the brigade had prevailed.
#4 The men of the 2506 were political flotsam, but they were also Cuban first, and they shared a definition of patria as indivisible from personal honor. They were all Cuban, and they proceeded equally from a kind of collective spell.
