Death Is Not Always the Winner

by David Landau

Fidel Castro's seizure of power in Cuba, and his one-man rule across nearly half a century, are matters poorly understood outside that country. "Death Is Not Always the Winner" recreates a lost piece of history. Carefully based on period detail, Landau's narrative follows the story of Rodrigo, a Cuban attorney who opposes Batista's tyranny and then takes up arms against Castro's regime. This novel has won special acclaim from Hispanic readers, who have a firsthand knowledge of the subject.
