Unpardonable Crimes: The Legacy of Fidel Castro presents a series of stories written as fiction but based on true events told to the author Celestino Heres by his family and friends. Everybody has a story to tell, and often there is always a story behind the story. Many of the events actually occurred in Cuba prior to, during and after the Revolution. These stories might have never been given a voice; this collection attempts to counteract that secrecy. The first story, "From Buchenwald to Connecticut," is the story of Heres's father-in-law, Raul, a jewelry manufacturer in Cuba. "Bitter Victory" was relayed to Heres by his two dear friends, who suffered imprisonment in Castro's gulag. The rest of the tales are born from the myriad conversations the author has had with many Cuban friends over forty years in exile. As is the case with stories of war, many stories of the Cuban people have been buried in silence, six feet under and muted. This collection demonstrates the common thread Cubans have endured and are still enduring under the cruel oppression and betrayal of Fidel Castro.
