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.20aRed Avispa (Spy network)xHistory. 0aEspionage, CubanzFloridaxHistoryy20th century. 4aEspionaje cubano xHistoriaySiglo XX 0aSpieszCubavBiography. 4aEspías zCuba  0aPolitical prisonerszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aPresos políticos zEstados Unidos  0aCold War. 4aGuerra fría 0aCubanszFloridaxPolitics and governmenty20th century. 4aCubanos z Florida (Estados Unidos) 4aCubanos en Estados Unidos xPolítica y gobierno ySiglo XX 0aRight-wing extremistszFloridaxHistoryy20th century. 0aExtremistas de derechazFlorida xHistoria ySiglo XX. 0aTerrorismzCubaxHistoryy20th century. 4aTerrorismozCuba xHistoria ySiglo XX. 0aCubaxForeign relationszUnited States. 4aCubaxRelaciones exterioreszEstados Unidos 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationszCuba. 4aEstados Unidos xRelaciones exterioreszCuba1 aBallantyne, Robert etraductor1 aOlegnowicz, Alexetraductor423Cover imageu9781781688762.jpg
