Professor Juan M. Clark, PhD. spent over 40 years of his life studying the Cuban Revolution and the effects it had not only in Cuba but around the world. He also conducted numerous interviews with persons who knew Fidel Castro in a personal way, his former schoolmates, guerrilla companions, even his favorite teacher. The product of all his investigations is this book, probably the most complete ever written on the man and his revolution. Cubans say that nobody will understand what living in Cuba today entails unless “you experience it”. This book will give you, the reader, a clearer idea of what living in Cuba was during the first year of Castro’s revolution and then through the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the beginning of the XXI century. It will also give you a rare insight into Fidel Castro’s personality and behavior. This book is an eye opener that will let you know who the real Fidel Castro is. Professor Juan M. Clark was born in Cuba in 1938, descendant of a family of Cuban, Spanish, and British origins. He participated in the fight against the Batista regime and hoped that the triumph of the revolution would be the beginning of a new Cuba, one where social justice and fraternal love would reign. Soon he was disappointed and eventually joined the 2506 Brigade that landed at Bay of Pigs in April, 1961. He was a paratrooper. After his release he studied Sociology in the United States and became a Professor at Miami-Dade College. Dr. Clark passed away in 2013. This book was published posthumously in 2016.
