El Sr. Landau brinda un hilo narrativo lúcido que entrelaza la vida de dos hermanos con los tiempos turbulentos que vivieron-Aram Bakshian Jr., The Washington TimesCon este libro he descubierto parte de la realidad cubana que desconocía. Muchos cubanos, nacidos en los sesenta o después, sentimos que nos han escamoteado la verdadera historia del país. Aquí está la verdad, al duro y sin guante-Teresa Dovalpage, autora de 'Queen of Bones: A Havana Mystery'Rigurosamente investigada y escrita magistralmente, 'Hermanos' es la historia de una familia cubana en su lucha contra el totalitarismo. La representación del Estado castrista, y de lo que ha significado para el pueblo cubano, permanece en la memoria-Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, autor de 'Cuba: una nación en busca de un Estado'Un fascinante relato sobre la revolución comunista de Cuba. 'Hermanos' es una guía indispensable para la catástrofe que siguió, y por extensión para la izquierda de Bernie Sanders que espera hacer de la Cuba socialista un modelo para el futuro de Estados Unidos-David Horowitz, autor de 'Radical Son'

{DELUXE PAPERBACK EDITION} From a review in The Washington Times: "Cuba's Answer to The Brothers Karamazov ... David Landau, a veteran observer of Cuban and Latin American affairs, tells a big story by focusing on a small cast ... [Emi] was a dashing, confident extrovert, a rugged free spirit with an instinctive appreciation for individual liberty. [Adolfo,] an earnest convert to Communism, was a bespectacled brooder, a born true believer driven by an impersonal ideology ... After spending nearly two decades as a political prisoner in Castro's jails, Emi, who never recanted and endured incredible suffering, emerged unbroken and made it to America ... A disillusioned Adolfo, declared a non-person by the Castro regime, became a human rights activist and, like his brother before him, was imprisoned. In the end, with help from friends and family, he also made it to the U.S. where both brothers shared their fascinating stories with the author. Mr. Landau provides a lucid narrative thread weaving their lives into the turbulent times they lived through." -Aram Bakshian, Jr., The Washington Times, September 8, 2020
