Stryker provides a critical and engaging look into the early years of the Cuban Revolution -- the players, the motivations, the mistakes, and the victories -- in the face of a super power armed to the teeth and desperately seeking to smash the Cuban experiment in independence. It is a must read for anyone interested in geopolitics, the Cold War or the ironies of history.

Author Information

THE AUTHOR Philadelphian Deena Stryker studied in Paris, became a French citizen by marriage, debuted at Agence France Presse in Rome, then, as Deena Boyer, followed Fellini s creative process for The Two Hundred Days of 81/2 . The proceeds enabled her to interview Fidel Castro for a major French weekly, meeting with him again a week after the Kennedy assassination, and several times in 1964 for this book, as the other members of the government (including Che Guevara, Raul Castro and Celia Sanchez), told her in their own words why they had made the revolution. Returning to Paris in 1981, in Une autre Europe, un autre Monde, she elaborated a plan for the reunification of Europe, which also foresaw the breakup of the Soviet Union, appearing on the day the Berlin Wall fell. She returned to Philadelphia in 2000 and is a senior editor at Opednews.com.
