{DELUXE PAPERBACK EDITION} From a review in The Washington Times: “Cuba’s Answer to The Brothers Karamazov ... David Landau, a veteran observer of Cuban and Latin American affairs, tells a big story by focusing on a small cast … [Emi] was a dashing, confident extrovert, a rugged free spirit with an instinctive appreciation for individual liberty. [Adolfo,] an earnest convert to Communism, was a bespectacled brooder, a born true believer driven by an impersonal ideology … After spending nearly two decades as a political prisoner in Castro’s jails, Emi, who never recanted and endured incredible suffering, emerged unbroken and made it to America … A disillusioned Adolfo, declared a non-person by the Castro regime, became a human rights activist and, like his brother before him, was imprisoned. In the end, with help from friends and family, he also made it to the U.S. where both brothers shared their fascinating stories with the author. Mr. Landau provides a lucid narrative thread weaving their lives into the turbulent times they lived through.” —Aram Bakshian, Jr., The Washington Times, September 8, 2020
