Review:

..."a convincing argument that Benes is an important figure..."--Louis DeSipio, Latin American Research Review
"Sometimes there is a hero--a solitary man who will do the right thing despite the personal cost or the odds against him. Bernardo Benes is one of them, an unlikely but true American hero...Secret Missions to Cuba is a masterpiece of history and reporting which fleshes out one of the great human dramas of our time. Fascinating!" --Edna Buchanan, Pulitzer Prize Winner for General Reporting
"Levine suggests that Benes' secret missions and the rancorous community response form the background for the Elian Gonzalez hysteria and George W. Bush's hairbreadth 'victory' in Florida." --"Booklist"
