Sinossi
Ignacio Ramonet ha vissuto a Cuba accanto a Castro per alcune settimane e dalle loro lunghe conversazioni è nata quella che può essere considerata l'autobiografia definitiva del lider maximo, il testamento politico e umano di un grande rivoluzionario e, allo stesso tempo, di un dittatore nel momento del suo declino. "El Comandante" racconta di sé e del mondo che ha conosciuto, dei grandi della terra, delle crisi internazionali in cui ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano. Ripercorre i più recenti eventi di politica internazionale che lo hanno visto coinvolto e offre un punto di vista di grande lucidità sulla difficile fase che il nostro mondo sta attraversando. Il risultato è l'ultima testimonianza lasciata al suo tempo e ai posteri da un protagonista del Novecento.

Other than the Paris Review interviews and a few others, I am generally not a fan of interviews in the question and answer format.

As a historical materialist, I don’t believe in Great Man Theory. No single person can drive history forward, and like everyone else Fidel Castro was born into particular circumstances outside of his control. Cuba’s achievements over the last 60 years are due to the masses of Cuban people making his Leggi tutto
I read this book at the request of a friend who thought it might be good for a me since, in his opinion, my perspective was too pro-US. Whatever, but I thought it might be interesting. Whatever one thinks about Castro, he certainly was present for some interesting things in history. And I knew very
Absolutely astounding to hear Castro's story. Sadly, this brilliant man has been portrayed as a monster for decades. Brilliant, engaged and completely self-aware, it is refreshing to hear his own voice in this fascinating interview style biography.
This book took me forever to get through. SOmetimes I read pages and realized I spent the whole time actually thinking about dinner and I had no idea what happened. It read more like Castro's tidy record keeping than a thrilling life story. He remembers every insignificant detail which is good but a Leggi tutto
Castro is one of the epic figures of 20th century. The REAL HERO of cuban independence, for to me pre-1959 Cuba was not truly an independent country. He restored dignity and self respect to his country and defied he posturing of an imperialist super power only 90 miles away. Ignacio Ramonet has the
