Title: Let the bastards go
Description: "When Fidel Castro opened the Cuban port at Mariel on April 23, 1980, two Episcopal parish priests in New Orleans found themselves thrust into the unlikely role of rescuers. Risking arrest and their personal safety, Father Joe Morris Doss and Father Leo Frade defied both Cuban and American governments to deliver over four hundred emigres to freedom.

A memoir with the suspense and intrigue of a political thriller, Let the Bastards Go recounts how two seemingly ordinary men - bolstered by their faith - led an extraordinary mission."--BOOK JACKET.
