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 Sánchez was party to his secret life - because
everything around Castro was hidden. From the ghost town in
which guerrillas from several continents were trained, to
his immense personal fortune - including a huge property
portfolio, a secret paradise island, and seizure of public
money - as well as his relationship with his family and his
nine children from five different partners. Sanchez's tell-all expose reveals countless state secrets
and the many sides of the Cuban monarch: genius war leader
in Nicaragua and Angola, paranoid autocrat at home, master
spy, Machiavellian diplomat, and accomplice to drug
traffickers. This extraordinary testimony makes us
re-examine everything we thought we knew about the Cuban
story and Fidel Castro Ruz.
