Este libro presenta la historia, nunca antes contada en español, de los hombres y mujeres de diecinueve nacionalidades que se asociaron para volar en frágiles avionetas sobre las aguas que median entre Cuba y la Florida en busca de los balseros que huían de Cuba comunista. Salvaron más de 4.200 vidas. Es un fascinante relato de cómo José Basulto, exiliado cubano y veterano de Bahía de Cochinos, fundó HAR con la misión humanitaria de salvar las vidas de unos seres desesperados dispuestos a enfrentar el océano en busca de la libertad.La presente obra cuenta también la penetración en HAR de dos espías, uno de los cuales era un doble agente que también trabajaba para el FBI. Estos dos individuos colaboraron con el régimen de Castro en planificar el derribo, sobre aguas internacionales, de dos avionetas civiles que volaban en una misión humanitaria el 24 de febrero de 1996, algo que no tiene otro calificativo que el de asesinato a sangre fría.
