Notes:
"This is a balanced, carefully researched, and sensitively written look at Fidel Castro and his legacy in Cuba. It shows the warts on thelegacy--- the economic problems, the reluctance to adjust to a changed world-- but it also notes that Castro has brought about an egalitarian society and that he has been true to his revolutionary principles. I have been involved in the Cuban drama since I first arrived in Havana in 1958 as Third Secretary of the old American Embassy. Yet even I learned much from this book. I highly recommend it." -- Wayne S, Smith, the former Chief of the US Interests section in Havana (1979-1982), is now an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a Senior Associate of the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC. The work refers to García Márquez on listed pages.
