Synopsis

The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol is neither a history of the Cuban revolution nor a biography of Fidel Castro. The book follows what intelligence services call a CPP (short for Comprehensive Personality Profile), similar to the ones intelligence services keep on foreign leaders. It focuses on different aspects of Castro's actions and personality which, for some reasons, have been either ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented. The main thesis of this book is that there are many different Castros. The most widely known is the symbolic, public one, as it has been portrayed in official Cuban propaganda, Castro-friendly biographies, and mainstream American media. But there are also many secret Castros, highly different from the public one. By ?deconstructing? different aspects of the life of the symbolic Fidel Castro the author tries to prove that all of them, the symbolic and the secret ones, are suspect and, therefore, all answers are partial. The Secret Fidel Castro, focuses on little known aspects of Castro's personality, important in the better understanding of the man and his actions?what really makes him tick.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol is neither a history of the Cuban revolution nor a biography of Fidel Castro. The book follows what most intelligence services call a CPP (short for Comprehensive Personality Profile), like the ones intelligence services around the world keep on foreign leaders. This study focuses on different aspects of Castro’s actions and personality that, for some reasons, have been ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented. The main thesis of this book is that there were many different Castros: Castro the Communist, Castro the anti-Communist, Castro the anti-Soviet, Castro the Fascist, Castro the Jesuit, Castro the psychopath, Castro the agent provocateur, Castro the CIA agent, Castro the Rockefellers’ agent, Castro the anti-American, Castro the closet gringophile, Castro the magnicider, Castro the political assassin, and so on. The most widely known Fidel Castro is the symbolic, public one, as it has been portrayed in official Cuban propaganda, Castro-friendly biographies, and the CFR-controlled mainstream American media. But there were also many secret Castros, highly different from the public one. By critically deconstructing different aspects of the life of the symbolic Fidel Castro the author shows that all of them — the symbolic and the secret ones — are suspect and, therefore, all answers are partial. The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol, focuses on little known aspects of Castro’s personality, important in the better understanding of the man, his thought and his actions — what really made him tick.
