Book Review of Robert E Quirks Fidel Castro
Robert E. Quirk Fidel Castro. ... The story of Fidel Castro has been written by many historians. Each book tells a tale of a boy, destined for power, driven by heart and with determination that would always prevail. Oddly enough, Quirk views of Fidel become evident closer to the conclusion of his book: Fidel’s achievements and triumphs could never amount to the failures that he incurred in Cuba. ... When Quirk began writing this book, he was presently teaching history at the Indiana University. ... Quirk’s main question sought out to be answered dealt with the reasoning behind why Castro’s had become a communists, and whether or not he was a true believer. The story of the young Fidel Castro could not have been better written than Quirk’s biography. ... Fidel was a strong and aggressive leader as a child. One day, at his boarding school, Fidel was arguing with another student when the priest came up and hit him on the head.
