Nicaro
When the Americans were forced out of Cuba in 1960, US corporations lost millions of dollars in assets. What is seldom discussed is the $100 million the US Government lost when the Castro regime expropriated the US nickel mining operation on the northeastern end of the island. It was not only a mine but a processing plant for the military stockpile of nickel, a town-site built from the ground up, including homes, schools, hospital, shops and clubs with all the amenities found in the United States. This is the story of how Nicaro was born and why, as seen through the eyes of a young boy who grew up there in the 1950s. How he was forced to leave a virtual paradise at an early age and how the town has managed under the oppressive Castro government for 54 years.
