Lunt, a veteran of World War II and the Korean War, started a ranch in Cuba before Castro came to power. Initially in support of the revolution, Lunt offered to help the CIA organize anti-Castro cells when Castro moved to the left in the 1960s. Eventually, Lunt was caught by Cuba's Soviet-trained intelligence service and spent 14 years in prison, obtaining his freedom in 1979. Although guilty of spying for the United States, Lunt presents a delightfully written, positive account of his suffering in prison, providing many insights, from an American viewpoint, into Cuban political prison culture under Castro. Like Armando Valladares's Against All Hope ( LJ 5/1/86), this is a testament to the admirable, unwavering human spirit. Highly recommended.
