 For Which He Stands

About the Book

      José “Pepín” Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
      He laments, “We were in a helpless and hopeless situation.” But Pepín Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things--clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.
