Introduction / Mary-Alice Waters

[I.] None of the five sought applause, rewards or fame

Five soldiers, loyal to the ideas of Martí, Che, Fidel, and Raúl / Gerardo Hernández

They received their distinctions because they didn't seek them / Fidel Castro

[II.] It's the poor who face the savagery of the US "justice" system / Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, René González

1. The reason there are so many prisons in the US is not the amount of crime

2. In US prisons they aim to dehumanize you ; in Cuba a prisoner is another human being

3. We extended solidarity to others in prison and we received it too

4. Solidarity worldwide gave us the strength to resist during the worst times

5. We're in a battle of ideas and we intend to win

[III.] We will take our place in the trenches and be judged by the work we do

We lived in a microcosm of the outside world / Gerardo Hernández

No battle waged by revolutionaries ends with what you once did / Antonio Guerrero, René González, Fernando González.
