Last year, Armando Valladares' book, Against All Hope, was re-released. First published in Spanish in 1984, it is a first-person account of Valladares' 22 years in Fidel Castro's prison. Valladares, a Christian, was originally arrested in 1960 because he refused to post a pro-communist sign in the post office where he worked. The book tells of Castro's inhumanity toward him, for Christianity has always been among the Cuban dictator's chief targets. In jail, Valladares heard other Christians being killed, and noted that they often cried out Viva Christo Rey!
