"To an outsider visiting Cuba, there would have been nothing special about my family. We were not rich, famous, or politically well-connected. . . . What made us remarkable is that we survived and escaped." When Eduardo Calcines was three years old, Communists took control of Cuba. Eleven years passed before Calcines and his family were finally able to leave the country. Now sixty-three, Calcines, a successful American businessman, recounts what it was like to grow up under Fidel Castro's rule. Epilogue. Black-and-white photographs.
