Anotácia knihy

Through the 1980s and 1990s, violent anti-Castro groups based in Florida carried out hundreds of military attacks on Cuba, bombing hotels, dusting Cuban crops with insects, and opening fre with machine guns on Cuban beaches. The Cuban government struck back with the Wasp Network - a group of a dozen men and two women - sent to infiltrate the Florida organizations. "The Last Soldiers of the Cold War" tells the story of these unlikely spies, and their eventual unmasking and prosecution by US authorities. Five of the Cubans have languished in US prisons for years. Global best-selling Brazilian author Fernando Morais tells the story of the Cuban Five in vivid, novelistic, page-turning prose, but he also delves probingly into the decades-long conflict between Cuba and the US, the growth of the powerful Cuban exile community in Florida, and what he calls the travesty of justice that resulted in long or life terms for the Cubans on wrongful charges of espionage and murder. Based on years of research and including exclusive interviews conducted in Cuba with members of the Wasp Network and their families, "The Last Soldiers of the Cold War" is both a real-life spy thriller and a searching examination of continuing Cold War policy.
