The Importance of Fidel Castro

by Lisa Ballinger

For decades, Fidel Castro has been Cuba's "Maximum Leader." This charismatic man began as the fiery head of a popular revolution against a corrupt dictator, then took to the world stage as a committed Communist. Following the collapse of his ally the Soviet Union, Castro has been increasingly isolated, but still controls nearly every aspect of daily life in Cuba.

[Malik B. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is massive in content on Fidel Castro. There was a report that needed to be done on him for presentation so I went to the library. I had two books on him checked out, this being one of them, and the timeline at the beginning was incredibly helpful. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know anything or everything about Fidel Castro. To be honest I never needed the second book I checked out because this one just had everything and more.
