註釋Oswaldo Pay was seven years old when Fidel Castro seized power, promising to create a 'free, democratic, and just Cuba'. But Castro instead created an authoritarian regime and crushed all dissent. The dream of democracy became Pay's life work. Sent to Castro's forced labour camps, he could not stay silent, and formed a pro-democracy movement. After receiving multiple death threats, Pay was killed in a suspicious car accident in 2012. Democracy is in retreat all over the world. Oswaldo Pay showed how to fight for it. His battle was waged from the streets of Havana but carried universal truths. Pulitzer Prize-winner David E. Hoffman, author of the acclaimed The Billion Dollar Spy, tells the compelling story of a courageous dissident in action.
