Overview
El autor bestseller internacional, Mario Escobar, regresa con la impactante historia de Camilo Cienfuegos, el héroe olvidado de la Revolución cubana.
Camilo Cienfuegos fue un carismático revolucionario que se hizo amigo de Fidel Castro cuando empezaron las protestas para derrocar la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista. Siempre fiel a los ideales de la Revolución, Cienfuegos luchó al lado de Fidel, Raúl y el Che Guevara, y llegó a ganarse la simpatía del pueblo cubano gracias a su humildad y franqueza.
Tras ganar varias batallas, la rivalidad entre Camilo y Fidel se fue acentuando y sus ideales se separaron. Las ideas pacifistas de Camilo le ganaron el afecto de la gente, pero la ambición de Castro por el poder absoluto y una secreta envidia de su fiel amigo lo borrarían de la historia.
Cuando, temeroso de los designios de los Castro, Camilo decidió irse al exilio, un trágico accidente lo hizo desaparecer del mapa. Algunos creen que el avión en el que viajaba de regreso a la Habana, después de atender los últimos encargos de Fidel, fue derribado por un misil. Lo cierto es que no quedaron rastros de él ni de los supuestos testigos del accidente. ¿Algún día se sabrá la verdad?
International bestselling author Mario Escobar returns with the powerful story of Camilo Cienfuegos, the unsung hero of the Cuban Revolution.
Camilo Cienfuegos was a charismatic revolutionary who befriended Fidel Castro when protests began to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Always loyal to the ideals of the Revolution, Cienfuegos fought alongside Fidel, Raul, and Che Guevara, and won the sympathy of the Cuban people thanks to his humility and honesty.
After winning several battles, the rivalry between Camilo and Fidel grew stronger and their ideals diverged. Camilo's pacifist ideas won him the affection of the people, but Castro's ambition for absolute power and a secret envy to his faithful friend would erase him from history.
When, fearful of the Castro's designs, Camilo decided to go into exile, a tragic accident made him disappear from the map. Some believe that the plane in which he was traveling back to Havana, after attending to Fidel's last orders, was shot down by a missile. What is certain is that no traces of him or of the supposed witnesses of the accident were left. Will the truth be known some day?
