This work investigates the strategic motivations behind Fidel Castro's 1980 Mariel boatlift and the subsequent policy crisis faced by the United States government. Alex Larzelere, a retired Coast Guard officer who served as the White House liaison during the crisis, utilizes his firsthand experience and access to government documentation to analyze the intersection of Cuban domestic pressure and American immigration policy. The book argues that the boatlift was a calculated political maneuver by the Cuban regime to export social and economic instability to the United States.
