The autobiography of Fidel Castro
Fuentes, Norberto
The autobiography of Fidel Castro / Norberto Fuentes ; translated by Anna Kushner - New York : W.W. Norton & Co. , c2010. - xvi, 572 p. : ill., map ; 25 cm.
"This is an abridged version of a two-volume edition originally published in Spanish as La autobiografía de Fidel Castro"--T.p. verso.
Includes bibliographical references.
Prize-winning author and journalist Norberto Fuentes was once a revolutionary: a writer with privileged access to Fidel Castro's inner circle during some the most challenging years of the revolution. But in the late 1990s, as the regime began sending its oldest comrades to the firing squad, he became A Man Who Knew Too Much. Escaping a death sentence and now living in exile, Fuentes has written a brilliant, satirical, and utterly captivating "autobiography" of the Cuban leader-in Fidel's own arrogant and seductive language--discussing everything from Castro's early sexual experiences in Birán to his true feelings about Che Guevara and his philosophy on murder, legacy, and state secrets.--From publisher description.
