Overview
From 1960 to 1962, 14,048 Cuban minors arrived in Miami. María de los Angeles Torres was six years old when she took part in this massive airlift-now known as Operation Pedro Pan-in which parents, terrified that the new communist government would ship their children to Soviet work camps, sent them instead to America. Torres examines the event from both a historical and a personal perspective. This 'relentless investigator of history' (Miami Herald) forces declassification of key documents, challenging us all finally to come to terms with this pivotal yet largely neglected exodus.The book, The Lost Apple: Operation Pedro Pan, Cuban Children in the U.S., and the Promise of a Better Future [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9780807002339 in Paperback by Maria Torres may be ordered in bulk quantities.
