| Publisher Description: In March 2003, Normando Hern ndez Gonz lez was among seventy-five Cuban journalists who were hunted down and arrested in what became known as the "Black Spring." For reporting outside the regime-endorsed perspective, the men were tried and sentenced to Cuba's harshest prisons. Under the most brutal conditions, the journalists remained united, protesting to protect their countrymen's human rights. After nearly a decade, the Cuban government finally released and exiled the dissenters in 2010, Hern ndez among them. One year later, Adam Braver and Molly Gessford traveled to Madrid, Spain to meet Hern ndez and record his remarkable story. |
