Before Fidel Castro seized power, Cuba was an ebullient and chaotic society in a permanent state of turmoil, combining a raucous tropical nature with the evils of arbitrary and corrupt government. Yet this fascinating period in Cuban history has been largely forgotten or misrepresented, even though it set the stage for Castro's dramatic takeover in 1959. To reclaim the Cuba that he knew—and add color and detail to the historical record—distinguished political scientist Francisco José Moreno here offers his recollections of the Cuba in which he came of age personally and politically. Moreno takes us into the little-known world of privileged, upper-middle-class, white Cubans of the 1930s through the 1950s. His vivid depictions of life in the family and on the streets capture the distinctive rhythms of Cuban society and the dynamics between parents and children, men and women, and people of different races and classes. The heart of the book describes Moreno's political awakening, which culminated during his student years at the University of Havana. Moreno gives a detailed, insider's account of the anti-Batista movement, including the Ortodoxos and the Triple A. He recaptures the idealism and naiveté of the movement, as well as its ultimate ineffectiveness as it fell before the juggernaut of the Castro Revolution. His own disillusionment and wrenching decision to leave Cuba rather than accept a commission in Castro's army poignantly closes the book.

"Before the After" is the title of the first book in English of a projected trilogy mirroring the Spanish historical biography titled "Habana 505" written by the Cuban Fernando Pruna and the Frenchman Cyriaque Griffon and published in 2018. Initially conceived as a translation from Spanish to English of "Habana 505," it soon departs the original text's confines and takes a life of its own. Amplified by the author's delightful new anecdotes of his life before the communist takeover of Cuba, Fernando Pruna plunges into an insightful analysis of the causes that brought about the Cuban Communist Revolution and the political forces that drove Fulgencio Batista to flee Cuba on the 31st of December 1958. The veridic autobiography of a consummate young Cuban playboy socialite converted into a freedom fighter by overwhelming historical circumstances that define his existence's fate. Framed by historical events before and leading to the Communist takeover of Cuba, we share the life of this privileged young man up to when darkness descends upon his country, and he determines to confront the radical political transformation conceived by Fidel Castro and the resulting consequences of his confrontation. "Before the After" borders the first book's timeline as taking place before the Communist takeover of Cuba and a short time after that. In the writing process, the second and third books resume an extraordinary labyrinth of encounters over a twenty-year struggle, including counterrevolutionary activities, guerrilla warfare, seventeen years of imprisonment, communist concentration camps, prison escapes, and the imminent execution by firing squad.

Early in Ann Louise Bardach's Cuban voyage she came across Cartas de Presidio or The Prison Letters of Fidel Castro. Edited by Luis Conte Aguero, who was the recipient of most of these letters, they are cited in every important work from Hugh Thomas' opus Cuba to Tad Szulc's Fidel biography, and everything in between and since. These twenty-one letters (nine to Conte Aguero, six to his late sister and close collaborator, Lidia, one to his wife Mirta, one to his comrade in combat, Melba Hernandez letters, one to the great scholar Jorge Manach) are regarded as the single most valuable and revelatory document regarding Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Never before published in English, these letters were written when Castro was imprisoned for his failed attack on the Moncada from 1953 to 1955 and reveal a man of spectacular ambition and steely determination. A man, who despite being incarcerated to serve a lengthy prison term, never wavers in his confidence that he will one day rule Cuba.

'As exciting and readable as a Cold War thriller' The Times 'Brings back the danger and intense emotions of that revolutionary period...it reads like adventure fiction' Independent The story of the remarkable and revolutionary friendship between two of the most iconic figures in twentieth century history - Fidel Castro and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. Not yet thirty, Fidel Castro and Ernesto Guevara met in 1955 while both in exile in Mexico City. Guevara, the Argentine doctor plagued by asthma, had reached the end of the travels he began by motorcycle several years before. Fidel Castro, peasant's son, scholar and rebel, had just fled Cuba, fearing for his life. Over the next twelve years, until Guevara's death in 1967, their journey together would take them from the safe houses of Mexico's political underground, to war in the Cuban mountains and ultimately into the heart of the Cold War. Drawing on extensive research, including declassified material and interviews with key figures in Havana, Moscow and Washington, Simon Reid-Henry uncovers, for the first time, the full story behind the central relationship of the Cuban revolution: their shared revolutionary ambitions, their conflicting personalities, the wilfulness that bound them together and the pressures that would tear them apart. Fidel and Che is the story of two men who shared a common dream; who became friends, comrades and brothers-in-arms; and who, finally, would make an epic choice between their friendship and their beliefs.
