Publisher's Synopsis
Fidel Castro, one of the chief protagonists of the Cold War and Washington's traditional foe, casts a critical eye over the significance of Barack Obama's election and his performance in his first term of office. Since retiring from public life in 2006, the Cuban leader has continued to make characteristically forthright comments on world events and on political developments in the United States. This new, updated edition includes Castro's response to Obama's recent speeches and the crisis in Libya.
