Title: A comprhensive work plagued by superficial analysis
Review: Geyer's book is interesting, but espouses numerous unsubstantiated claims. Her main sources are personal interviews conducted with numerous persons once connected with Fidel Castro. An overwhelming bias against Castro surfaces in these interviews, as most of the persons interviewed are expatriated Cubans who possess a considerable, although justified contempt for Castro. As a text to be used in academic research, Guerilla Prince is, therefore, inadequate. Geyer's book, however, does offer some intriguing pyschological analysis of Castro and his policies. Her summary of Cuban history, and Castro's early life are particularly insightful. Yet Geyer's pitifalls are superficial analysis and outlandish conspiratorial claims which inflate the status of Castro, making him appear as global figure more powerful than he ever was.
