Inhaltsangabe
First published in 1990 and now updated and expanded, this study is more than a personal biography: rather, it assesses Castro's career from his rise to power in the drama of the Cuban Revolution through the difficult years of independence to (in this revised text) its apparent twilight now. Cool but not unsympathetic, it avoids the simplifications of right-wing denunciation and left-wing hagiography, and the second edition reinforces its claim to be the best short introduction to this controversial and charismatic figure currently available.

Críticas
'Sebastian Balfour's outstandingly succinct and clear-sighted study does justice to the complexity and shifts of Castro's career, as well as making a much-needed contribution to the historiography of his subject.' Newstatesman and Society (of the First Edition)
