520 2  "Here is the story of political prisoners finally freed in
       December 2014, after being held captive by the United 
       States since the late 1990s. Through the 1980s and 1990s, 
       violent anti-Castro groups based in Florida carried out 
       hundreds of military attacks on Cuba, bombing hotels and 
       shooting up Cuban beaches with machine guns. The Cuban 
       government struck back with the Wasp Network--a dozen men 
       and two women--sent to infiltrate those organizations. The
       Last Soldiers of the Cold War tells the story of those 
       unlikely Cuban spies and their eventual unmasking and 
       prosecution by US authorities. Five of the Cubans received
       long or life prison terms on charges of espionage and 
       murder. Global best-selling Brazilian author Fernando 
       Morais narrates the riveting tale of the Cuban Five in 
       vivid, page-turning detail, delving into the decades-long 
       conflict between Cuba and the US, the growth of the 
       powerful Cuban exile community in Florida, and a trial 
       that eight Nobel Prize winners condemned as a travesty of 
       justice. The Last Soldiers of the Cold War is both a real-
       life spy thriller and a searching examination of the Cold 
       War's legacy"--|cProvided by publisher.
