From America's number one Cuba reporter, PEN award-winning
investigative journalist Ann Louise Bardach, comes the big
book on Cuba we've all been waiting for. An incisive and
spirited portrait of the twentieth century's wiliest
political survivor and his fiefdom, Cuba Confidential
is the gripping story of the shattered families and warring
personalities that lie at the heart of the forty-three-year
standoff between Miami and Havana.
Famous to many
Americans for her cover stories and media appearances, Ann
Louise Bardach has been covering Cuba for a decade. She's
talked to the crooks, spooks and politicians who have made
history, and to their hired assassins and confidants. Based
on exclusive interviews with Fidel Castro, his sister
Juanita, his former brother-in-law Rafael Díaz-Balart, the
family of Elián González, the friends and family of the
legendary American fugitive Robert Vesco, the intrepid
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, and the inner circles of Jeb
Bush and the late exile leader Jorge Mas Canosa, Cuba
Confidential exposes the hardball take-no-prisoners
tactics of the Cuban exile leadership, and its manipulation
and exploitation by ten American presidents.
Bardach
homes in on Fidel Castro and his cronies, taking us closer
than we've ever been--and on the militant exiles who have
devoted their lives, with CIA connivance, to trying to
eliminate him. From Calle Ocho to Juan Miguel González's
kitchen table in Cárdenas, from Guantánamo Bay to Union City
to Washington, D.C., Ann Louise Bardach serves up an
unforgettable portrait of Cuba and its exiles.
