Reinhard Kleist
Castro

© Carlsen The Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro (1926-2016) was one of the most interesting and controversial politicians of the 20th century, “hate and hero figure, myth and devil at the same time.

He was intelligent, educated and well-read, tall and handsome, charismatic as charming and endowed with a compelling and dangerous macho and power instinct."(Volker Skierka, biographer of Fidel Castro )
With powerful drawings Reinhard Kleist records Fidel Castro’s eventful life, his political ideas and ideals as well as their consequences for Cuban society.
