ReviewsReview: Fidel Castro"Junior high librarians will find this series to be a solid addition to their biography section. The tales about each person gleaned from a broad variety of sources show students the value of balanced reporting. The vivid color photos and user-friendly layout of the books as well as their moderate length will provide students with a thorough yet undaunting look at people they care about who are in the news."--VOYA October 2007

SynopsisBorn into a wealthy plantation family, Fidel Castro established the first socialist state in the Western hemisphere in his native country Cuba. Castro liberated Cuba from the U.S.-backed Batista regime and nationalized Cuba's economy, effectively shutting the U.S. out of the country. Castro's record of human rights abuses is checkered. It is believed that 1.2 million people fled Cuba between 1958 and 1993, according to U.S. Census Bureau. This compelling edition offers a balanced biography of Fidel Castro. Chapters discuss Castro's wealthy childhood, his ideological awakening, his invasion of Cuba, and his long, tenuous relations with the United States.
