Fidel Castro: Biografía a dos voces

Castro is quite verbose, so the read is somewhat boring and slow. However is does give a very interesting view of this charismatic world leader

Spanish journalist, Ignacio Ramonet, director of Le Monde Diplomatique in Paris, spent many hours from January 2003 until December 2005 interviewing Cuba's Fidel Castro. The result is 569 pages of candid conversations between both men, from Castro's childhood, his formation, his revolutionary days, and his forty plus years at the helm of the Island nation.

Ramonet tries to follow a chronological pattern, but it is very difficult because Castro loves to talk and jumps from one theme to another as he remembers things.

Unfortunately Ramonet does not confront nor questions Castro's answers, so it is a very one way version of the world's longest dictator's view on things, without any attempt to check the facts.

Castro is quite verbose, so the read is somewhat boring and slow. However is does give a very interesting view of this charismatic world leader.
