Alovert's text is eloquent, but nothing can match her photographic chronicle; this is the kind of history that is, in the best sense, revealing...
...invasion last October were expected to follow faithfully the words of their national anthem: "To die for your country is to live." Twenty-four Cuban civilians died defending an airfield they were building at Point Salines. But the commanding officer of Cuban troops on the island, Lieut. Colonel Pedro Tortoló, and 42 of his men managed to escape to the safety of the Soviet embassy...
