“Others have interpreted Castro as a typical young intellectual spurred to action by the spectacle of his country's misfortunes. Castro himself, however, has expressly denied this description. ‘I am not an intellectual,’ he told Jacques Arnault, ‘I am a man of revolutionary action.’”
Suárez surveys the course of events in Cuba from early revolutionary days to the complicated middle-sixties split in the international Communist camp. In this study, he investigates some of the most fascinating questions about Cuba, and some of the most useful: Where did the Cuban revolution orig-inate? Why did Castro choose an affiliation with the Soviet Union What is Castro's present strategy in managing his regime and in directing his pas de deux with the Soviets?
