Author Description

In this historical document, Juanita Castro Ruz reveals her story in impeccable detail and with stunning candor. Born in 1933 in Birán, Cuba, the author is the sister of Fidel Castro and the architect of the Cuban Revolution. In her testimony before the Committee on Un-American Activities, she describes her disillusionment and eventual break with her revolutionary family and the regime they established. Her testimony is a compelling read for anyone interested in Cuban history, the Cold War, and the human cost of political upheaval.
