Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution: Age, Position, Character, Destiny, Personality, and Ambition

Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution: Age, Position, Character, Destiny, Personality, and Ambition Review

This is not a history of Cuban communism but rather a personal history of its maximum leader, Fidel Castro. Montaner's extraordinary knowledge of the country and its politics prevents the work from being a psychiatric examination from afar. Indeed, if irrationalitiesexist, they are seen as built into the fabric of the regime itself, and not simply as a personality aberration.
