Description: "In this behind-the-scenes account, former top CIA officer and Cuba expert Brian Latell makes a startling claim about the extraordinary Castro brothers and Cuba's future. Here is an unprecedented view into the brothers' remarkable relationship, revealing how Fidel and Raul have collaborated in policymaking, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty-six years - a challenge to the notion that the little-known Raul has been an insignificant player. The result is an intimate portrait of the two enigmatic men, and a new understanding of the psychology and motivation behind their actions.

Based on his insider knowledge of Raul Castro, Latell projects what kind of leader the younger brother and designated successor will be, and how U.S.-Cuban relations might be affected."--BOOK JACKET.
