The voice of one of history’s greatest orators "Fidel's devotion to the word is almost magical." — Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"Fidel is the leader of one of the smallest countries in the world, but he has helped to shape the destinies of millions of people across the globe." — Angela Davis
"Fidel Castro is a man of the masses... The Cuban revolution has been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people." — Nelson Mandela
"Fidel's is a singing and dancing intellect... In Fidel this passion is expressed in his priestly dedication to revolution." — Alice Walker
At last, a comprehensive anthology of one of the 20th century's most influential political figures, the Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. Fidel Castro has been an articulate and incisive—if controversial—political thinker and leader, who has outlasted 10 hostile US presidents. With the wave of change now sweeping Latin America, this book sheds light on the continent's future as well as its past. As the first selection of Fidel Castro's speeches to be published since the 1960s, this is an essential resource for both scholars and general readers. |
