THE REAL FIDEL CASTRO

Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76046

English Summary/英文概要： The Real Fidel Castro is a first-hand account, and an authoritative biography, that provides a clear and dispassionate analysis of Castro, without the political rhetoric that typically accompanies any discussion of the man. The book describes the key events that shaped Castro’s life from his political activism as a student, his years as a communist revolutionary and guerrilla fighter alongside Che Guevera, to his decades in power surviving the Cold War, assassination attempts, the missile crisis, and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

As British Ambassador to Cuba in the early nineties, a time when Cuba’s economy contracted by a third, and many outside observers were anticipating the collapse of the Cuban government, Sir Leycester Coltman had privileged access to Castro, with regular contact and frequent discussions. These conversations at a critical juncture in Cuba’s history provide a unique insight into the thoughts, personality, and motivations of the Cuban leader.

20世纪末期，古巴的经济由第三方看管，许多观察者纷纷预言古巴政府的倒台。莱斯特爵士作为英国驻古大使，才有特权得以访问卡斯特罗，展开频繁讨论。在古巴局势紧张时期，这些对话使得读者能进一步了解古巴领导者的思想，性格和动机。（XAT）
