After Fidel: Raul Castro and the Future of Cuba's Revolution
Autor Brian Latellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2007
This is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the extraordinary Castro brothers and the impending dynastic succession of Fidel's younger brother Raul. Brian Latell, the CIA analyst who has followed Castro since the sixties, gives an unprecedented view into Fidel and Raul's remarkable relationship, revealing how they have collaborated in policy making, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty years--a challenge to the notion that Fidel always acts alone. Latell has had more access to the brothers than anyone else in this country, and his briefs to the CIA informed much of U.S. policy. Based on his knowledge of Raul Castro, Latell makes projections on what kind of leader Raul would be and how the shift in power might influence U.S.-Cuban relations.

Recenzii
'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
