An audacious "biography" of the ex-president of Cuba told in Castro's own outrageous, bombastic voice. 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 Biran to his true feelings about Che Guevara and his philosophy on murder, legacy, and state secrets. Critics have long admired Fuentes's writing; one U.S. article called him "Norman Mailer's Cuban pen pal." Akin to Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, or Edmund Morris's Dutch, this wickedly entertaining, true-to-life masterpiece is as imaginative and outsized as Castro himself.
En forma cronologica presenta el autor informacion no conocida sobre las actividades terroristas y en el narcotrafico del gobierno de Fidel Castro. Revela tambien informaciones sobre el juicio de la Causa #1 de 1989, sobre el general Arnaldo Ochoa y los hermanos De la Guardia, sobre la guerra en Angola y otros escenarios fuera y dentro de Cuba en los que participara directamente o tuviera informacion por sus amigos del MININT y el MINFAR, que participaron en ellos. Un libro inquietante y revelador que muestra importantes interioridades de la cupula gobernante de Cuba. Prologo de Ernesto F. Betancourt.
