Bartlesville, OK: Living Sacrifice Book Study, 2001 Living Sacrifice Book Company, Bartlesville, OK. 2001. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: As New. No DJ. Pictorial wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split. 432 pp. An extraordinary account of the cruelty that we should know enough to expect from dictatorships but that in the case of Fidel Castro has been successfully concealed from outside observers. The author was arrested for opposition to communism and imprisoned for 22 years. The story of how one man's deep Christian faith enabled him to sustain the most evil treatment and never abandon hope. A clean pristine copy.

On Sep 18 2007, JimL777 said:
I'm two-thirds through reading this compelling account of Armando Valladares courage in resisting Communism and the Castro regime. If his account is accurate, and I suspect it is, I don't understand how Castro can be treated with anywhere near the respect that he currently receives from the American (and Western) media. He is a Latin Stalin, not an elected President, and the so-called mainstream media in the U.S. has ignored the horrible crimes he and his henchman have committed. Shame on them! If the book is accurate, Valladares and thousands of other Cubans were guilty of the one crime that a Communist dictatorship cannot abide - - the desire to think as an individual. Where are the PBS documentaries about Castro's crimes? Where is the outrage?
Read the book. It will open your eyes.
