The following narrative was written by the widow of Tony Cuesta, Maria Aurelia Cuesta.

The story of Tony Cuesta, his fight for a free Cuba, the missions with Commandos L, the danger, the heartbreak of imprisonment, the release, and now...the HOPE! Tony Cuesta gave his life, and though he is no longer with us, his cause is not dead. It lives in memory, in prayer, and in the unshaken belief that the mission is not yet finished. What he began will continue until Cuba becomes a free nation that Cubans everywhere believe is their destiny.

Plomo Y Fantasia is the story  of that difficult journey. For all who wish to know the true story of his fight--and why the mission will never die. Told in in startling detail. A must read for all who wish to know the true story of his efforts to free Cuba, and why the mission will never die.  This book is his testimony.

Tony, preparing for the raid on the Russian Ship, the Baku, anchored of the coast of Havana shortly before the Bay of Pigs invasion event, circa 1960's 

The future of Cuba remains in grave doubt. What of the children? The families?
