Description: Never before has any biographer had such close personal access to Fidel Castro. The outcome of a long, direct relationship, this riveting portrait reveals astonishing facts about Cuba, the revolution, and this notoriously controversial leader through the mid-eighties. Only Tad Szulc could bring Fidel to such vivid life. The loves and losses of the man. The devious tactics of the conspirator. The triumphs and defeats of the revolutionary leader who challenged an American president and brought the entire world to the brink of nuclear holocaust. From Jesuit schools and a plantation house to jungle hideouts and the Palace of the Revolution, this is the classic story of the man who has ruled Cuba for more than forty years.
