<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Who was Fidel Castro?</strong><br /> In the summer of 1958, 300 bearded revolutionaries, led by a 30-year-old lawyer named Fidel, turned the tides of war in Cuba by defeating 12,000 soldiers in combat. <em>How was this possible?</em></p><p>If you want to understand Cuba of the last 60 years, you must first understand who Fidel Castro was, and the events of the Cuban Revolution of 1953 to 1959.</p><p>The revolution began in 1953 with a botched insurrection in Santiago, Cuba. Fidel was captured and put on trial where he defended himself, finishing with the now immortal words: "Condemn me. It does not matter. History will absolve me."</p><p>Fidel was imprisoned, granted amnesty, exiled to Mexico, and then led an invasion of Cuba with 81 revolutionaries aboard a pleasure yacht called the Granma. Only 18 men survived. How did Fidel build this small band of guerillas into an army that would sweep to power in Cuba?</p><p>Who was the rifle-toting woman who became Fidel's most trusted advisor as well as his lover?</p><p>These questions and more are answered in the thrilling <em><strong>I Am Cuba</strong></em>, a historically accurate novel detailing society, <br /> politics, war, and love in Cuba in the 1950s.</p>
