Boys from Dolores:: Fidel Castro's Schoolmates from Revolution to Exile
by Patrick Symmes

From the author of "Chasing Che," here is the remarkable tale of a group of boys at the heart of Cuba's political and social history. Chosen in the 1940s from among the most affluent and ambitious families in eastern Cuba, they were groomed at the elite Colegio de Dolores for achievement and leadership. Instead, they were swept into war, revolution, and exile by two of their own number, Fidel and Raul Castro. Trained by Jesuits for dialectical dexterity and the pursuit of absolutes, Fidel Castro swiftly destroyed the old Cuba they had come from, down to the hallways of Dolores itself.

"An atmospheric, richly evocative history of modern Cuba. . . . Mr. Symmes digs like a reporter and writes like a novelist."
--The New York Times Book Review
