Operation Pedro Pan the Untold Exodus of 14,048 Cuban Children
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Routledge
- Publish date: 05/01/1999
Yvonne M. Conde investigates the events and key figures surrounding the exodus, including the roles of the Catholic church and the State Department, and the extent of the CIA's involvement. As the children arrived in temporary camps in Miami, dedicated volunteers such as Father Bryan O. Walsh helped them find new homes across the country. Conde has tracked down hundreds of these children to tell their diverse stories -- their uplifting, poignant, and sometimes tragic experiences in American foster homes and orphanages. Because she herself was a Pedro Pan child, others have opened up to her like never before to share their feelings about this painful time in their lives. Today, these children and their families struggle to heal the emotional scars of their long separation.
Writing with compassion and rare insight, Yvonne M. Conde uncovers the true tales of a little-known episode of the Cold War.
