Cover of Fidel!: Castro's Political And Social Thought

Fidel!: Castro's Political And Social Thought

"Little more than a hagiography from a prominent scholar, written from a less-than-critical perspective. Book emphasizes Castro's 'political and social thoughts,' and author states that 'fundamentally, my worldview and Castro's coincide' (p. xii). Still, book is useful because it shows how Marxism, Castro's ambitions, and the international context shaped the Cuban Revolution. Good notes and bibliography included"—Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
