- Summary
- "Alejandrín es un exiliado cubano. Por no participar en actividades comunistas, fue marginado y puesto en una lista negra, viéndose forzado a buscar refugio en la Embajada Peruana junto a otro 10,800. Rodeados por soldados, sin alimentos, sobrevivieron ingiriendo hojas y cortezas de árboles hervidas. Alucinaciones después de diecisiete días sin comer. Alejandrín tuvo que tomar un decisión, rendirse or morir!" --From back cover.
- "Subjects discussed are how I escaped from Cuba, black listed for not participating in communist activities, how I got into the Peruvian Embassy with 10,800 others. Surrounded by soldiers, exposed to the elements I had to survive on tree bark and boiled leaves as the only source of food for 19 days. Delirious after so many days without food, I must make a decision to surrender or die. I discuss the true reason behind the Mariel boat lift and my adaptation to the American society, along with the current political and economic situation in Cuba." --From press kit.
