An exhilarating real-life Cold War thriller about the Americans who
fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution - then switched
sides to try to bring him down Back in 1957, Castro was a hero to
many in the USA for taking up arms against Cuba's dictatorial
regime. Two dozen American adventurers joined his rebel band in the
mountains, including fervent idealists, a trio of teens from the
Guantanamo Bay naval base, a sleazy ex-con who liked underage
girls, and at least two future murderers. Castro's eventual victory
delighted the world - but then he ran up the red flag and some
started wondering if they'd supported the wrong side. A gang of
disillusioned American volunteers - including future Watergate
burglar Frank Fiorini and journalist Alex Rorke, whose 1963
disappearance remains unsolved - changed allegiances and joined the
Cuban exiles, CIA agents and soldiers of fortune who had washed up
in Miami ready to fight Castro's regime by any means necessary.
These larger-than-life characters wreaked havoc across the
Caribbean and went on to be implicated in President Kennedy's
assassination, a failed invasion of 'Papa Doc' Duvalier's Haiti and
the downfall of Richard Nixon. The Cold War had arrived in Miami,
and things would never be the same again.
