基本説明
New in paperback with some new material which has been written since he resigned. Hardcover was published in 2007. This is the very first time Castro, leader of Cuba for forty-six years, has told his own life story. Presented in a series of probing interviews, this is both an autobiography and a history of the past fifty years. Fidel Castro tells his life story to Ignacio Ramonet, himself a well-known journalist and activist in the anti-globalisation movement, and for many years the editor of Le Monde Diplomatique.
Full Description
The acclaimed autobiography of Fidel Castro, one of the towering political figures of our age, who dominated both Cuba and the world stage for over half a century.
Here Castro tells his story in full for the first time, speaking openly about everything from his parents and earliest influences to his imprisonment, guerrilla war and the Cuban revolution and on to the Bay of Pigs, the missile crisis and his relationship with Che Guevara. He also remembers the people he knew, from John F. Kennedy to Ernest Hemingway. Whatever your views on Castro are, this is an essential record of an incredible life - and even more extraordinary times.
'Cubaphiles are all the richer for this book ... Castro's prodigious gifts are well displayed: his formidable erudition, steely discipline, epic curiosity and his astute grasp of history' Financial Times
'Castro's life has been extraordinary and he can tell a good story' Evening Standard
