La paz en Colombia
El dirigente revolucionario explica su desacuerdo con la trayectoria política de guerra de guerrillas “prolongada” del Partido Comunista de Colombia orientado a Moscú y de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). En contraste, la dirección revolucionaria en Cuba se organizó para conducir a los trabajadores y campesinos al poder, y lo hizo en unos pocos años. Señalando que durante la guerra revolucionaria cubana, los soldados del gobierno fueron liberados en cuanto fueron capturados, Castro también rechaza la toma de rehenes civiles y la retención de prisioneros de guerra bajo condiciones severas. “Ningún propósito revolucionario lo podía justificar”, afirma.

Fidel Castro
579 books290 followersCuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro overthrew the regime of Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar in 1959, established a Communist state, served as prime minister until 1976 and then as president of the government and first secretary of the party, in declining health passed control de facto in 2006 to Raúl Castro, his younger brother, and officially retired in 2008.
Fidel Castro led a revolutionary movement that overthrew corrupt authoritarian regime of Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar on New Year's Day, 1 January 1959.
Raúl Castro assisted Fidel Castro, his brother, in overthrowing the regime of Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar in 1959.
United States in an attempt to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro trained a force of 1,500 guerrilla troops, who landed at Bay of Pigs, the site, in an ill-fated invasion on 17 April 1961.
Castro, the illegitimate son of a wealthy farmer, adopted leftist anti-imperialist politics and meanwhile studied law at the University of Havana. He participated in rebellions against right wing in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, afterward failed in an attack on the barracks of Moncada, planned against the military junta, which the United States of America backed, and served imprisonment for a year in 1953. On release, he went to Mexico, formed the movement of 26 July as a group with Ernesto Guevara, his friend and doctor.
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, a politician, also served as the commander in chief of the armed forces. This politically Marxist-Leninist administered the socialist republic. People nationalized industry and businesses and implemented socialist reforms in all parts of society. Castro returned, ousted rivals in 1959, and brought his own assumption of military and political power.
Credentials of Castro and cordial relations with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics alarmed the Administrations of Dwight David Eisenhower and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who unsuccessfully attempted economic blockade, assassination, and even the invasion at Bay of Pigs of 1961 to remove him. In 1961, Castro proclaimed the socialist nature of his administration under rule of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. The press and suppression of internal dissent accompanied socialist reforms that introduced central economic planning and expanded care and education.
Castro countered these threats, formed an economic and military alliance with the Soviets, allowed them to place nuclear weapons on the island, and thus sparked sparking the missile crisis in 1962.
Internationally, Castro also served as general of the nonaligned movement from 1979 to 1983.
Abroad, Castro supported foreign groups in the expectation of toppling world capitalism, sent troops to fight in the wars of Yom Kippur, Ogaden, and Angola.
Following the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991, Castro went into economic "special period" and afterward forged alliances in the Latin American pink tide, namely with Venezuela of Hugo Chávez, and joined the Bolivarian alliance in 2006.
Due to failing, Castro in 2006 transferred his responsibilities to his vice, who assumed in 2008.
Supporters lauded Castro, a controversial and divisive world figure, as a champion of socialism, humanitarianism, and environmentalism against imperialism; critics viewed him as a dictator, who oversaw multiple rights abuses, an exodus of more than a million persons, and the impoverishment of the economy of the country. Through actions and writings, he significantly influenced the politics of various individuals and groups across the world.

Sin duda es una lectura recomendable para quienes ya se han internado previamente textos de este calibre. Se mostrará aburrido para el lector novato en el tema y para quien no cuenta con suficiente interés en entender pormenores del conflicto colombiano.
Un recuento detallado y preciso de la importante participación de Fidel Castro en la dura realidad del conflicto colombiano y su compromiso como estratega militar y diplomático en la consecución de la paz. Nadie puede negar la importancia de Castro y del pueblo cubano para la paz de colombia, mucho menos hoy 2016 cuando Cuba ha interpretado un rol trascendental para las negociaciones actuales. Incluso personajes de la derecha colombiana, como el expresidente Andrés Pastrana, reconocen abiertamente su buena voluntad y transparencia. Es un valioso documento para quienes estan dispuestos y tienen la capacidad de entender su psicología revolucionaria. Ideal para quien desee entrar en pormenores de la historia reciente del conflicto hasta el evento de los fracasados diálogos de paz de San Vicente del Caguán.
Él invirtió más de 400 horas para escribirla, yo 3 días para leerla y este país más de 100 años para vivirla.
