Negative Positive
Title: poorly written and disappointing
Review: I agree with an earlier reviewer about this book being poorly written. That said, the biggest disappointment is that the author fails to observe one fundamental truth: that Castro was pathologically obsessed about not being upstaged or replaced by any other Batista opponent. His monomaniacal motivation was to be recognized as Batista's top nemesis. If the city and university "student" revolutionaries had succeeded in killing Batista, Castro would have been left behind. He knew this and greatly feared it. He didn't cooperate with anyone except where it served his purpose.The sad thing is that this author is now one of the leading exponents of appeasement with the totalitarian regime in Cuba and part of a business and congressional leftist movement that stands to profit from trade with Cuba.
Is the review positive or negative?
