Description

The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol is neither a history of the Cuban revolution nor a biography of Fidel Castro. The book follows what most intelligence services and products call a CPP (short for Comprehensive Personality Profile), like the ones intelligence services and products all over the world keep on foreign leaders. This study makes a speciality of different aspects of Castro’s actions and personality that, for some reasons, have been ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented. The main thesis of this book is that there have been numerous Castros: Castro the Communist, Castro the anti-Communist, Castro the anti-Soviet, Castro the Fascist, Castro the Jesuit, Castro the psychopath, Castro the agent provocateur, Castro the CIA agent, Castro the Rockefellers’ agent, Castro the anti-American, Castro the closet gringophile, Castro the magnicider, Castro the political assassin, and so forth. The most widely known Fidel Castro is the symbolic, public one, as it has been portrayed in official Cuban propaganda, Castro-friendly biographies, and the CFR-controlled mainstream American media. But there were also many secret Castros, highly different from the public one. By critically deconstructing different aspects of the life of the symbolic Fidel Castro the creator shows that all of them — the symbolic and the name of the game ones — are suspect and, due to this fact, all answers are partial. The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol, makes a speciality of little known aspects of Castro’s personality, important in the better understanding of the man, his thought and his actions — what truly made him tick.
