All those who feel pessimistic about the future of Cuba or resigned to the fact of Castroism. would do well to reexamine their beliefs in the light of the detailed testimony presented in "Terror and Resistance in Communist Cuba." Let me list just a few of the many facts that illustrate the mass disaffection that exists in Cuba and the incredible will to resist of the Cuban people. First. Over a period of 3 years. 350.000 Cubans have sought freedom in the United States and other countries. leaving behind them their houses. their automobiles. their furnishings. and everything they possessed. Another 325.000 Cubans had applied for visa waivers when air transport to the United States was canceled as a result of the October 1962. missile crisis. Second. Despite repeated military actions against the guerrillas and the execution of many captured resistance leaders. new guerrilla bands and new resistance leaders continue to spring up.
