Exiled within Miami

Ms. Bardach,explains the incomprehensible. As a non Cuban Miami resident it took this NYT journalist living in Los Angeles to finally enlighten me as to what is going on in my hometown.Her account of how the Cuban exile leadership took down the Miami Herald explains why no matter how outrageously irrational,corrupt or viloent, the Cuban community behaves, The Herald is quick to come to their defense at the expense of other minority groups and the community at large. She painstakingly explains who holds the power reins in Miami and how they got them . A must read for any Miami resident.

the definitive book on cuban exile politics

Ms. Bardach is not only a superb journalist, she is a an expert storyteller. the Castro/Diaz Balart family saga is the stuff of the russian novel. She found an overlooked angle on this familiar subject and elevated it to mythic proportions. if you only read one book on Castro's Cuba this should be it.

Cada Lechon

Al fin, un libro que dice la verdad sobre esta guerra fria y caliente y sobre todo sin sentido. Con inteligencia y sin parpadear, la autora, ella una Americana, nos abre los ojos a la realidad que es Miami vs. La Habana, un partido en el que nadie gana y todos pierden y pierden y vuelven a perder. Ha no ser la familia Bush, pero bueno, cada lechon tiene su noche buena... Todo Cubano debe leer esta bomba atomica. Un libro fenomeno. Lo recomiendo.

Bardach serves up vendettas ,murder ,revolution ....

Bardach's book, the definitive up to the minute look at the complex world of miami exile politics is so chock full of tittilating anecdotes and surprise twists and turns that i could not put it down. She made me feel like an insider in a world she navigates like the true aplatanada she has become. BRAVA!

Unbiased and riviting

This book has been an invauable aid to understanding the passion and irrationality that fuels the tragic and intractable struggle that has divided the Cuban people since 1959. The reporting by Bardach is unbiased and devestating to both sides. Castro's paternalism and egomania on the one hand and in Miami corruption, revenge and self-righteousness.
