A Fast Paced Thriller with Exceptional Historical Accuracy, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Escape from Castro (Paperback)
Mario Lamar is not only a gifted story-teller, he shines a spotlight upon the Cuban peoples suffering under Castro for the world to see. Escape from Castro is a gripping, fast paced novel told by an Officer and gentleman who lived through it all. A poignant work of passion, this book is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book! Too realistic to be just fiction!, August 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Escape from Castro (Paperback)
The book is purportedly fiction, however, judging from the insight and history of the author you realize as you read that this account must be based on facts.
It is an extremely engaging novel that captures what life must have been like in the first years of Castro's dictatorship.
It is important that those of us outside the exiled Cuban community learn of the atrocities that have been and still are committed by Castro and his lackeys just miles from our shores.
The characters are well defined and the book's organization is flawless. The day it came I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting.
Escape from Castro is a novel that will stay with me long after Castro is gone!
