Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Rise and Fall of Fidel Castro," we embark on a journey through the extraordinary life and complex legacy of one of the most iconic and controversial figures of the 20th century. Fidel Castro's impact on Cuba, the Americas, and global politics is the subject of intense debate, and this book delves into the multifaceted dimensions of his leadership, from revolutionary heroism to political controversy. From his early years as a rebellious law student to his historic rise to power as the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro's story is one of audacity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to socialist ideals. The book explores the roots of his revolutionary fervor, the triumphs and tribulations of the Cuban Revolution, and the challenges faced by Cuba in the wake of his leadership. As we journey through the pages of this book, we delve into the social achievements of the Cuban Revolution, including groundbreaking advances in healthcare and education that earned global recognition. We also confront the controversies surrounding political repression, human rights violations, and limitations on freedom of speech that have marked Castro's legacy. "The Rise and Fall of Fidel Castro" goes beyond Cuba's borders to examine Castro's role in international affairs, from supporting leftist movements and governments in Latin America to his involvement in conflicts in Africa and the Middle East. We witness how Cuba's internationalism and solidarity with other nations shaped its foreign policy and global influence. The book delves into the economic challenges faced by Cuba, particularly during the "Special Period" following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It explores the dual economy, economic reforms, and the delicate balance between socialism and market forces that continue to shape Cuba's economic trajectory. "The Rise and Fall of Fidel Castro" also examines the normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States, a historic development with profound implications for both countries. The book navigates the complex relationship between Cuba and the Cuban exile community in the United States, highlighting the divisions and debates surrounding Castro's legacy. As we reach the epilogue, we witness how Fidel Castro's legacy endures in the 21st century, shaping Cuba's identity, politics, and aspirations. The book concludes with reflections on the enduring influence of a leader whose impact transcends time and place. This comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of Fidel Castro's life and legacy offers readers a nuanced understanding of a figure who inspired devotion and criticism in equal measure. "The Rise and Fall of Fidel Castro" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, politics, and enduring legacy of the Cuban Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Manuel Márquez-Sterling writes about Fidel Castro and his revolution from direct personal experience, as a historian with broad and deep knowledge of 50s Cuba. The author knew and had contact with many of the historical figures in the book's pages. His penetrating analysis of the public and behind-the-scenes events clears the fog and shatters myths to reveal the real story of the Cuban Revolution. The book explains how Castro came to power through the convergence of rabid partisanship, radical student politics, media bias, and venal politicians who placed self interest ahead of preserving democracy. Facing a constitutional crisis, these parties espoused "the end justifies the means," embracing political gangsterism and eschewing negotiations with political opponents- resulting in a power vacuum Castro exploited to seize power. Masterful propaganda cast Castro as pro-democracy hero, avoiding scrutiny of his plans for a totalitarian state under his control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that the parameters that governed the relationship between the Cuban government and increasingly radicalized African-American activists in the 1960s were largely determined by the ideological conflicts between the revolutionary views of Che Guevara and the more conservative pro-Moscow views held by many in Castro's Popular Socialist Party. Issues explored include Cuba's support for international Pan-African movements, the role of Cuba in popularizing the aspirations of radical African-Americans to the world, and the eventual capitulation to ideologies of national security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT BY THE NEW YORK TIMES CORRESPONDENT—WHAT REALLY OCCURRED IN CUBA AFTER FIDEL CASTRO SEIZED POWER In three short years Fidel Castro and his revolution have destroyed the once prosperous economy of Cuba and helped the Soviet Union establish its first armed beachhead in the Western Hemisphere. Ruby Hart Phillips, for twenty-five years the resident New York Times correspondent in Havana, maintains that Castro’s takeover is a classic example of the incredibly inadequate American policy in foreign affairs. A display of courage and foresight even as late as 1958 would, she declares, have neutralized Castro and put Cuba back on the road to democracy. The claim by Castro supporters, both in Cuba and the United States, that Castro was pushed into the Communist camp by our mistaken foreign policy is clearly shown to be one of the great lies of the Castro revolution. But, she stresses, the United States must take the whole responsibility for Cuba’s communism today. Step by step she analyzes the indecisive and conciliatory moves of the U.S. State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reported from inside Cuba by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Andres Oppenheimer, Castro's Final Hour chronicles the dramatic events that have crippled the more-than-three-decades-old Marxist regime of Fidel Castro. From the execution of the country's most celebrated Army general in 1989 to the devastating effects of the loss of all Soviet aid, the picture Oppenheimer paints is extraordinarily detailed and engrossing, revealing a country on the brink of disaster. He uncovers Castro's never-before reported efforts to radicalize Noriega's regime in Panama, the failure of his "Zero Option" plan to restore economic stability without outside aid, and tells how, in a last ditch attempt to save the country from its dire slide, Castro's top aides pushed a plan to strip him of some of his powers. Including exclusive interviews with Soviet officials, Latin American leaders - including Daniel Ortega and Manuel Noriega - as well as the top echelon of current Cuban leadership and Fidel's dissident daughter, Alina, Castro's Final Hour is a compelling and intimate portrait of the Cuban leader, and an authoritative evaluation of what the future may hold for his country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bonsal combines his memoirs of his experiences in Havana with an analysis of the relationship between Cuba and the United States both during the Batista and Castro regimes and during the earlier history of the Cuban Republic.His discussion of Castro's personality is incisive, portraying the Maximum Leader's increasing animosity toward the United States until the final break-off of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Bonsal's observations of Castro and the sociopolitical climate in Cuba are perhaps the most incisive and accurate of any to date on the subject.All the events from the Revolution to the termination of diplomatic relations are discussed. Of particular interest are Bonsal's accounts of his attempt to find a basis for a rational relationship between the United States and Castro's Revolution, the rejection of that attempt by Castro, and the abandonment by Washington of the policy of nonintervention in Cuban affairs which the Ambassador had advocated.Finally, in an evaluation of future relations between the two countries, Bonsal analyzes some of the major problems of the coming years.
