{"product_id":"9781785906862","title":"The Men from Miami : American Rebels on Both Sides of Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn 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 downBack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45458190237917,"sku":"9781785906862","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781785906862.jpg?v=1719944610","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781785906862","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
