Reseña del editor:

"The Fidel Castro Handbook", written as Fidel turned 80, is an impassioned account of the rise to power of one of the most dedicated revolutionaries who has ever lived. This lavishly illustrated portrait explains just what it is about Fidel that enabled him to inspire and lead his beloved Cuba in the face of half a century of U.S. blockades, terrorism and assassination plots. Author George Galloway traces Fidel's extraordinary life from his rural childhood, through the guerilla struggle in the Sierra Maestra, the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Missile Crisis, to his life with the Soviet Union, his contribution as a figurehead for other Latin American countries, and his lasting inspiration for the oppressed everywhere. Galloway's vivid retelling of Fidel's life reveals a leader of remarkable intelligence, fortitude and humanity.

Biografía del autor:

George Galloway is long accustomed to media scrutiny. He hit the international headlines in 2005 when he faced a U.S. senate committee that accused him of being in Saddam Hussein's pay. As a result he received more than 20,000 emails from American well-wishers. A Scot of Irish descent, he is a long serving member of the British Parliament and currently represents London's Bethnal Green & Bow constituency. He won the seat in May 2005 for Respect, the party he founded after being expelled from the Labour Party for his vocal opposition to the invasion of Iraq. George is the author of 'I Am Not the Only One' and 'Mr Galloway Goes to Washington', a radio chat show host and recently a Big Brother participant.
