Review:
'Brian Latell is one of America's foremost Cuba analysts. He has produced a fascinating psychological profile of Fidel Castro and the who, after forty-plus years in the shadows, may soon succeed him - his brother Raul.' - George J. Tenet, Former Director, Central Intelligence Agency
'Few Americans understand Cuba - past, present, and future - better than Brian Latell. He has combined an old CIA hand's knowledge and insights with a clear, readable writer's touch to bring both Castros - Fidel and his enigmatic brother Raul - to life.' - Evan Thomas, Newsweek Magazine, New York Times bestselling author of Robert Kennedy: His Life
'Latell has done an extraordinary job digging up documents and interviewing Castro family, friends, and associates. He portrays Fidel and Raul Castro with many original insights and is the first author to seriously probe their fascinating, mutually-dependant relationship. And it's written in a lively readable style.' - 4-Star General Barry R. McCaffrey, Former Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Clinton
'Brian Latell combines more than thirty years of CIA expertise with rigor and lively prose. The combination is particularly suited for analysing the CIA's nemesis for now nearly half a century and for making sense of what the future will bring to Cuba: a country whose importance to the United States and Latin America one should never underestimate.' - Jorge Castaneda, Former Foreign Secretary and Presidential Candidate, Mexico
