This question has intrigued many who have observed the Cuban revolutionary process from its beginnings. This is the first book offering the facts about Castro's initial contracts with radical thought. It traces his activities and ideological development from his years at the University of Havana until the victory of the Cuban revolution. The Early Fidel proves conclusively that Fidel Castro knew that he wanted to lead the Cuban Revolution long before he ever stated his final aims."--Jacket ER -
