As a student from the University of Puerto Rico, Cesar Antonio Santiago believed in political independence for his Caribbean home. He marched, he demonstrated and did everything in his power to break the relationship with the United States that had started at the end of the Spanish American War in 1898. His momentum hit a high point when he decided to test what he had learned and what he believed by joining the revolution in Nicaragua against the dictator Anastasio Somoza. When Somoza was driven from the Central American country in 1979, he went a step further. Not satisfied that Somoza was no longer in power, he volunteered to head a guerrilla force to hunt him down and to assassinate him in Paraguay.

With his success as a military leader in Nicaragua and as a guerrilla leader in South America, Santiago known as Comandante Eugenio Maria was sought out by an international terrorist, Hakeem Ismael, who had launched a broader frontal attack against 'Big Satan,' the United States and 'Little Satan,' Israel. Hakeem used every trick at his disposal, even a beautiful and bright Puerto Rican woman, who was an accomplished bomb thrower herself to convince him to become a part of the larger cause.

There was never any doubt in Santiago's mind about the rightness of his politics until he fired a deadly bazooka rocket at Somoza. In the months and years to come, he had a recurring nightmarish dream of seeing Somoza's body being blown apart time and time again.

From that moment on, he began a long, slow process of change, by turning to a 19th century Puerto Rican educator and writer, Eugenio Maria de Hostos, who witnessed first hand in Europe how Spain looked on Latin America with contempt. In the process, he decided finally to help his old enemy, the United States, to find the bombers who blew up a U.S. federal building in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and who placed four miniature atomic bombs in four strategic world points in an attempt to end the political and economic domination of the Big and Little Satans.
