Symmes tries to track down the remaining alumni of the Colegio de Dolores in Santiago-- the stomping grounds of the Castro brothers 60 years ago. You don't really notice, but the results, naturally, aren't too good. I think he gets maybe a dozen or so who're still with us. Guess what? Most all of them hate Fidel. There are lots of interesting digressions into Cuban history and a bit of political tourism. I never read a more succinct account of the screw-ups at the Bay of Pigs. Ultimately, the book is disappointing not because it's bad--I had fun reading it--but because it loses the thread of its own idea and becomes an excuse for hanging out with old enemies of the Revolution. See 'em while they're still lucid. This could have been a great book if Symmes had done some serious research. I think he was too busy sampling Cuban beverages (which are, admittedly good).
