How did Fidel Castro, the illegitimate son of a Spanish immigrant father and a Cuban mother, come to lead a successful revolution against the Batista dictatorship, and then establish Cuba as a major force in world politics?
In this book Peter Bourne, a psychiatrist and expert in US Caribbean relations, analyses the psychological and political forces that drive Castro, to explain how and why he has remained in power longer than almost any other world leader.
