Fidel Castro has ruled Cuba for over 40 years, yet he remains one
of the world's most complex leaders. Rebellious at an early age, he
attemped to organize a strike of sugar workers against his father
as a teenager. By his early twenties, he made it clear that he was
an opponent of the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and wanted a
social change for Cuba. His leadership of the successful revolution
in 1959 led him to political power behind the support of the Cuban
people. For decades critics have predicted his fall from power, but
he remains the uncontested leader. Castro's life and career are
described in this biography, including his childhood, family,
education, and political endeavors. Readers will learn of his
attendance at Havana Law School, his imprisonment, his rise to
political power, along with history topics and events such as
communism, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the Cuban missile crisis.
A timeline provides a comprehensive list of important events in his
life, and a bibliography covers print and electronic sources for
further research.
