Fidel:: A Critical Portrait Paperback - 2000

by Tad Szulc

This riveting portrait, now in paperback, reveals astonishing facts about Cuba, the revolution, and the notoriously controversial leader who has ruled Cuba for more than 40 years.


From the publisher

Never before has any biographer had such close access to Fidel Castro as did Tad Szule. The outcome of a long, direct relationship, this riveting portrait reveals astonishing and exclusive information about Cuba, the revolution, and the notorious, larger-than-life leader who has ruled his country with an iron fist for more than forty years.

Only Tad Szule 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 world to the brink of nuclear disaster.

From Jesuit schools to jungle hideouts and the Palace of the Revolution, here is Fidel...The Untold Story.

First line

Advancing on his elbows and knees so slowly that his great bulk hardly seemed to move at all, the sweaty man in a torn olive-green uniform, horn glasses on his unshaven face, slid carefully into the low canefield until he was entirely covered by a thick layer of leaves.
