{"product_id":"the-boys-from-dolores-patrick-symmes-9781400076444","title":"The Boys from Dolores: Fidel Castro's Schoolmates from Revolution to Exile","description":"From the author of \u003ci\u003eChasing Che\u003c\/i\u003e, here is the remarkable tale of a group of boys at the heart of Cuba's political and social history. Chosen in the 1940s from among the most affluent and ambitious families in eastern Cuba, they were groomed at the elite Colegio de Dolores for achievement and leadership. Instead, they were swept into war, revolution, and exile by two of their own number, Fidel and Ra l Castro. Trained by Jesuits for dialectical dexterity and the pursuit of absolutes, Fidel Castro swiftly destroyed the old Cuba they had come from, down to the hallways of Dolores itself. At once sweeping and intimate, this remarkable history by Patrick Symmes is a tour de force investigation of the world that gave birth to Fidel Castro - and the world his Cuban Revolution leaves behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Symmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400076447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400076444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.19w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoder Hispanic\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/31\/2008 pg. 20","brand":"Patrick Symmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057422561535,"sku":"9781400076444","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5dde14a-ddb0-4df1-8fbb-51c7d18f92ac.jpg?v=1685046888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boys-from-dolores-patrick-symmes-9781400076444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
