This chapter discusses how a diverse population of Cuban refugees came together and forged a powerful moral consensus on the need to suppress political differences in order to defeat Castro and restore the Cuban nation to their sons and daughters. However, the community's growing sense of unity could not make up for the structural weaknesses of the anti-Castro movement, which would remain divided and dependent on the whims of the U.S. government. By 1962, when the resolution of the October Missile Crisis failed to produce the downfall of the Revolution, hopes of a triumphant homecoming were replaced by anger, disillusionment, and despair.
