From the ghost town in which guerrillas from several continents were trained, to his immense personal fortuneincluding a huge property portfolio, a secret paradise island, and seizure of public moneyas well as his relationship with his family and his nine children from five different partners.Sanchez's tell-all expos reveals countless state secrets and the many sides of the Cuban monarch: genius war leader in Nicaragua and Angola, paranoid autocrat at home, master spy, Machiavellian diplomat, and accomplice to drug traffickers. This extraordinary testimony makes us re-examine everything we thought we knew about the Cuban story and Fidel Castro Ruz.
