The Cuban Five: Who they are. Why they were framed. Why they should be free. From the pages of The Militant - Softcover
A selection of articles from the Militant newspaper on the fight to free Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, and René González. The Cuban Five, as they have become known around the world, were convicted by the U.S. government on fabricated “conspiracy” charges and handed draconian sentences. They have remained in prison since their arrest in FBI raids in 1998.
Their “crime”? Monitoring the plans for action by violent counterrevolutionary Cuban-American groups that have a 50-year record of deadly attacks on Cuba and supporters of the Cuban Revolution—groups that operate from U.S. territory with Washington’s complicity.
Introduction by Mary-Alice Waters and Martín Koppel; photographs

Review:
Justice is sometimes too inconvenient. The Cuban Five discusses the case of these five Cubans who were wrongfully charged with conspiracy charges and put behind bars with the key thrown away. Drawn from the pages of the Militant, this case and the call of corruption lodged against it are explored through articles with black and white photography throughout. For those who wish to learn more about miscarriages of justice, The Cuban Five is an excellent start to learning about the case. --Midwest Book Review
