After Fidel, Updated Edition: Raul Castro and the Future ...

DIVA chief U.S. intelligence officer tells the inside story of Fidel Castro's 40-year rule and the man who will in all probability succeed him--his brother Raul/DIVDIVThis is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the extraordinary Castro brothers and the impending dynastic succession of Fidel's younger brother Raul. Brian Latell, the CIA analyst who has followed Castro since the sixties, gives an unprecedented view into Fidel and Raul's remarkable relationship, revealing how they have collaborated in policy making, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty years--a challenge to the notion that Fidel always acts alone. Latell has had more access to the brothers than anyone else in this country, and his briefs to the CIA informed much of U.S. policy. Based on his knowledge of Raul Castro, Latell makes projections on what kind of leader Raul would be and how the shift in power might influence U.S.-Cuban relations.BR/DIVDIVAcknowledgements * Prologue * Introduction: More Radical Than Me * A Peasant from Biran * The Victim of Exploitation * We Will All Be Heroes * My True Destiny * We Can Seize Power * He Is Our Father * My Job Is to Talk * I Detest Solitude * The Moral and Political Duty * The Corpse of Imperialism * My Brother Twice Over * More Than Enough Cannons * Notes * Index Acknowledgements * Prologue * Introduction: More Radical Than Me * A Peasant from Biran * The Victim of Exploitation * We Will All Be Heroes * My True Destiny * We Can Seize Power * He Is Our Father * My Job Is to Talk * I Detest Solitude * The Moral and Political Duty * The Corpse of Imperialism * My Brother Twice Over * More Than Enough Cannons * Notes * Index/DIVDIV InUAfter Fidel/U, Brian Lattel combines more than thirty years of CIA expertise with academic rigor and lively prose.
