Broken Chains, Broken Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781097580859)

The choice was brutal: abandon everything or live like a slave under Castro's insane rule. This is the story of a Cuban refugee who refused to become Castro s serf. His meticulous account shatters the myths surrounding the dictator and his revolution. He begins his story with a portrait of life in a small town in central Cuba in the 1940s. He then takes the reader through the murderous dictatorship of Batista; the happy and hopeful months that followed his fall; the betrayal of the Revolution; and the ordeal of surviving under the suffocating oppression, the abuses, and the scarcities of Castro's totalitarian regime.He recounts the events that led him and his wife to leave behind family and friends, and to abandon all they knew and all they had to seek refuge in the United States. Finally, he takes the reader along through the struggles to make a new life in peace and freedom in America.A rich, personal, and illuminating narrative set in the historical context of the times.
