FIDEL CASTRO READER
Εκδότης Seven Stories Press , ISBN 9781644213926
A comprehensive anthology with more than 30 speeches that span five decades by Fidel Castro, one of
history's greatest orators.
Emerging in the 1960s as a leading voice in support of anticolonial struggles, then continuing to play a role in
the antiglobalization movement in the subsequent decades, Fidel Castro was an articulate and penetrating-if
controversial-political thinker and leader, who outlasted ten US presidents.
Covering five decades of Fidel's speeches, this selection begins with his famous courtroom defense
(“History will Absolve Me”), and also includes his speech on learning of Che Guevara's death in Bolivia, his
analysis of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and his response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. With his declining
health and the emergence of new leaders such as Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia, this
book sheds light not just on Castro's mighty role in Latin America's past, but also on his legacy for the future.
Love him or hate him, this anthology demonstrates that Fidel Castro is a “master of the spoken word,” as
Gabriel García Márquez has described him.
