Synopsis:
A spoken autobiography created from more than one hundred hours of interviews in which Fidel Castro recounts his life and the Cuban Revolution.
Castro describes his childhood and early education, his formative influences, the beginnings and early failures of the revolutionary movement, and his relationship with Che Guevara and the eventual victory over Fulgencio Batista.
He gives the Cuban perspective on major Cold War flashpoints including the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and discusses Cuba’s international role, including support for African independence movements and military involvement in Angola against apartheid South Africa.
Castro also reflects on his relationships with world leaders and public figures (including multiple U.S. presidents), and addresses controversial issues such as democracy and human rights, discrimination toward homosexuals, and capital punishment.
Interwoven with politics and history are personal details about his family, habits (including quitting cigars), and literary interests, presented as a comprehensive, first-person legacy account.
