Set against the backdrop of 1940s Cuba, the narrative follows a group of boys from affluent families who were educated at the prestigious Colegio de Dolores. Their paths dramatically shift as they become entwined in the revolutionary upheaval led by Fidel and Raúl Castro. Trained by Jesuits, these boys were prepared for leadership but instead faced war and exile. Patrick Symmes offers a profound exploration of the origins of Fidel Castro and the transformative impact of his revolution on Cuban society, blending sweeping historical insights with personal stories.
