In response to the American administration's attempt to isolate Cuba, Fidel Castro delivered a series of speeches designed to radicalize Latin American society. As Latin America experiences more revolutions in Venezuela and Bolivia, and continues to upset America's plans for neo-liberal imperialism, renowned radical writer and activist Tariq Ali provides a searing analysis of the relevance of Castro's message for today.

Reviews
Castro was one of the more extraordinary political figures of the 20th century. A charismatic figure from the developing world, his influence was felt far beyond the shores of Cuba. -- Richard Gott * Guardian *
A towering international figure whose importance in the 20th century far exceeded what might have been expected from the head of state of a Caribbean island nation of 11 million people. -- Anthony DePalma * New York Times *
