Description: This book relates the compelling story of Fidel Castro through a wide variety of photographs and an insightful text from a veteran journalist. Tracing Castro's life from his childhood through his university years to his seizing of power, his decades of being one of history's most inflammatory political figures, and the recent years, this book reveals the influences in Castro's life and the events that shaped his long and controversial political career. Photographs of Castro playing soccer, meeting with world leaders, and relaxing with his ubiquitous cigar provide us with a well-rounded portrait of this ever-fascinating political leader.
