Synopsis
International bestselling author Mario Escobar returns with the powerful story of Camilo Cienfuegos, the unsung hero of the Cuban Revolution.Camilo Cienfuegos was a charismatic revolutionary who befriended Fidel Castro when protests began to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Always loyal to the ideals of the Revolution, Cienfuegos fought alongside Fidel, Raul, and Che Guevara, and won the sympathy of the Cuban people thanks to his humility and honesty.After winning several battles, the rivalry between Camilo and Fidel grew stronger and their ideals diverged. Camilo's pacifist ideas won him the affection of the people, but Castro's ambition for absolute power and a secret envy to his faithful friend would erase him from history.When, fearful of the Castro's designs, Camilo decided to go into exile, a tragic accident made him disappear from the map. Some believe that the plane in which he was traveling back to Havana, after attending to Fidel's last orders, was shot down by a missile. What is certain is that no traces of him or of the supposed witnesses of the accident were left. Will the truth be known some day?
