My life - Fidel Castro

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
