Escape From Serfdom

The choice was brutal: abandon everything or live like a serf under the Castro Revolution. This is the story of a Cuban refugee who rejected serfdom. His story shatters the myths surrounding Castro and his revolution and draws a portrait of life in Cuba through its most turbulent years. It describes what it was like to grow up in a small town in central Cuba
live through the murderous Batista dictatorship
cope with the suffocating oppression of Castro's totalitarian revolution
leave behind family, friends, everything he knew, everything he had
and struggle to make a new life in peace and freedom in the United States. A rich, personal, and illuminating narrative set in the historical context of the times.
