Synopsis

Newly-minted spy Julio Antonio del Marmol, in his first daring act as a spy, steals the briefcase of Ernesto "Che" Guevara right out of the provincial military headquarters in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. What he uncovers in that treasure trove of information are the notes and partly-outlined plans that Guevara has to expand the communist foothold just gained in the Western Hemisphere by the revolution's victory in Cuba. Impressed by the young man's intelligence, maturity, and eloquence, Che decides that he wants Julio Antonio by his side as a personal protegee. The paranoid Guevara is a dangerous man to come near to, as right in front of the twelve-year-old spy Che summarily executes his best friend, just on a paranoid suspicion that the dead man was connected with an assassination plot Julio Antonio narrowly thwarted, saving Che's life in the process. Taken by Che to a training camp, Julio Antonio uncovers the first thread in a plot to assassinate a U.S. President.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Julio Antonio del Marmol is the son of the primary financier behind Fidel Castro's revolution, Leonardo del Marmol. A Grand Master Mason, Leonardo organized his Masonic brothers to provide the funds Castro needed to purchase supplies and weapons. When the revolution won in January, 1959, then-11-year-old Julio Antonio wanted to become part of the revolution. His father arranged to get a letter written by his son detailing a plan to organize the Cuban youth into an army of the future into the hands of Fidel Castro, who flew out to meet the young man. Impressed by the boy's eloquence, he presented Julio Antonio with his own .38 pistol as a give and appointed him Commander-in-Chief of the Young Commandos of the Rebel Army and the youngest military commander in the revolution. Within six months, Che Guevara showed the youth that the plan was to implement a communist system on the island. In distress, he went to warn his father, who accused Julio Antonio of being brainwashed by an uncle in Havana (who never liked the revolution) and threw his own 12 year old son out of the house. Julio Antonio went to his uncle and revealed everything he had seen, only to discover that his uncle was a master spy going back to World War II, in which he was in charge of the network preventing the Nazis from taking control of the Caribbean and Central/South America. His uncle recruits and trains Julio Antonio, making him the youngest spy in history. He continues in his role, taking secrets from Castro's own office until his cover is blown in 1971. He must leave the island for the US, taking his fight against communism to a global level.
