A personal portrait of Fidel / by Gabriel García Márquez
1 Childhood and youth -- 2 University days -- 3 Colombia 1948: A taste of revolution -- 4 Preparing for Moncada
"In the twilight of his life, Fidel Castro, one of the century's most controversial figures, reflects on his childhood, youth and student activism. In an unprecedented and remarkably candid manner, the Cuban leader describes his family background, his childhood and education at elite Catholic schools, and the religious and moral influences that lead to his involvement in politics from a very young age. This collection of autobiographical sketches gives a glimpse of Fidel Castro, they boy and the young revel. He recollects his student days at the University of Havana, his early thoughts about armed struggle, his travels in Latin America as an international student organizer, his participation in a popular uprising in Colombia in 1948 and his experiences as a young lawyer and political activist." From back of book.
Gift of Karen Wald.
