From being part of a family linked to Fidel and Che to exile, the life of a Cuban journalist

"Fidel Castro had a predominant place in Abraham Jiménez Enoa's early years. His grandfather worked as a bodyguard for El Comandante, as well as for Che Guevara. Jiménez Enoa's relatives were high-ranking military officers in the Cuban government, and he lived a comfortable life in the heart of the communist system.
