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.
