CONTRA TODA ESPERANZA relata las vivencias del autor desde la noche de su detención hasta su liberación, ventidós años más tarde. En este testimonio, rigurosamente histórico, se narran las condiciones infrahumanas en que se ha mantenido y mantiene a los presos políticos cubanos, así como la agonía de las víctimas, la violencia de un régimen carcelario que tiene como objetivo la destrucción espiritual y física del prisionero. Sin sentimentalismos, el autor va describiendo, año tras año, todo el mundo enajenante y kafkiano de un sistema que conserva todavía para muchos una imagen de humanismo. Este libro habla del sacrificio de anónimos defensores a ultranza de la libertad, la justicia y la disgnidad plena del hombre frente al totalitarismo castrista.
