Fidel Castro, uno dei politici più influenti dell'ultimo secolo, ha attirato l'attenzione del mondo intero sin dai tempi della rivoluzione cubana. Gli ideali di libertà e la fiera opposizione agli Stati Uniti hanno sempre contraddistinto la sua linea d'azione.

Fidel Castro is one of the most influential and controversial men of the last 50 years, equally revered and reviled by people across the globe. To the West, Castro has long been one of the prominent faces of Communism, and the main reason Cuba has been ostracized by many liberal democracies, particularly the United States. On the other hand, Castro has been admired by those who despised capitalism, and despite the fact the political platform Castro advocated has been almost universally repudiated and only maintains a weak hold even in Cuba.

Sein Leben gleicht einem Abenteuerroman. Fidel Castro überlebte und erlebte all dies: Die Batista-Diktatur auf Kuba, Gefängnis, Exil, die Revolution und ihren Sieg 1959, Mordkomplotte, sieben sowjetische Generalsekretäre, zehn US-Präsidenten. Der Kubabesuch des elften, Barack Obama, leitet endlich das Tauwetter in den Beziehungen Kubas mit den USA ein. Weder Wirtschaftsblockaden noch Invasionspläne konnten Castro etwas anhaben.

When Fidel Castro died on November 25, 2016, it seemed as if much of the world didn’t quite know what to make of the revolutionary leader. The images of loyal Cubans in Havana openly crying in the streets stood in stark contrast to the Cuban exiles and their descendants just 90 miles away in Miami, Florida. While Cuban citizens were mourning, Cuban Americans were celebrating; they were laughing, dancing, and drinking to celebrate Castro’s demise. It seems Fidel Castro was just as polarizing in death as he was in life.

Fidel Castro is probably the most famous person in Cuba. His life was devoted to what he perceived to be a righteous cause for equality and freedom from erroneous ideologies. He led people in the revolution, made a difference in the Cold War in decisions that concerned communism, Marxism, and other economic structures, and he finally became the president of Cuba, until he passed away not too long ago. Whether you like him or not, it’s definitely interesting to learn more about what made Fidel Castro so influential, and why he remained the president of his home country for so long.

Fidel Castro ist eine der charismatischsten und zugleich umstrittensten politischen Persönlichkeiten unserer Zeit, der lebende Mythos der kubanischen Revolution, aber auch der diktatorische, jedwede Opposition unterdrückende "Máximo Líder". Seit 1959 ununterbrochen an der Macht, hat der begnadete Redner die Wirtschaftsblockade der USA, zehn US-Präsidenten, zahlreiche Attentatsversuche und das Ende der großen Schutzmacht Sowjetunion überstanden.

In The Double Life of Fidel Castro, one of Castro's soldiers of 17 years breaks his silence and shares his memoir of years of service, and eventual imprisonment and torture for displeasing the notorious dictator, and his dramatic escape from Cuba. Responsible for protecting the lider maximo for two decades, Juan Reinaldo Sanchez was party to his secret life - because everything around Castro was hidden.

He was quite possibly the most charismatic figure of the 20th century, a heroic figure that stood for the aspirations of the downtrodden, a true symbol of the triumph of the proletariat over dictatorships and imperialistic forces.

In 2014, American private contractor Alan Gross was rotting in a Cuban prison, convicted of undermining the Havana regime. At that same time, Cuban intelligence agent Gerardo Hernández was serving two life sentences in a US federal penitentiary on charges related to espionage. Then, it all changed.

Oswaldo Payá was seven years old when Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba, promising to create a 'free, democratic and just Cuba.' But Castro instead created an authoritarian regime with little tolerance of free speech or thought. His secret police were trained to crush dissent by East Germany's ruthless Stasi. Throughout Cuba's 20th century history, the dream of democracy was often just within reach, only to be dashed by dictatorship and revived again by a new generation. Payá inherited this dream and it became his life's work.
