520    "In this riveting Cold War history, highly acclaimed 
       author Brian Latell offers us a new and surprising look at
       Fidel Castro. Latell draws his narrative on personal 
       interviews with high level defectors from Cuba's 
       intelligence, many of whom have not spoken out for over 
       nearly five decades. The result is a vivid and revelatory 
       account that revises our understanding of how Fidel 
       operated, what his goals were, and how he imagined the 
       future for his tiny island nation. Latell takes us from 
       from the crimes Fidel allegedly committed as a youth in 
       the anti-Battista movement, to how quickly he built up an 
       intelligence system that rivaled the Soviet Union's KGB 
       and Britain's M15 in effectiveness, and how that 
       translated into a feud with JFK's administration and the 
       CIA, and the ultimate confrontation during the Cuban 
       Missile Crises that brought the world to the brink of a 
       nuclear holocaust"--|cProvided by publisher.
