[Music Head]

Not very well written but it sure was interesting. Written by one of Castros sidekicks back in his early days. She knew him when he was a struggling terrorist. She was close to being one herself, due to some hate being built up for Batista. Of course one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Some good history starts this off telling how previous Cuban dictators came to power. Then along came Castro to save them. He and his hombres were hiding out in Mexico when Teresa hooked up with them, gave them a place to stay and to hide their gradual build up of arms and ammo. It wasn't until after his revolution that she figured out these might not be the right guys to have control of the country. Shortly after he started executing his opposition. Woops, too late. The book ends way too early of course, as the man had only had power for a couple of years. Teresa got the message after she saw Castro hosting Kruschev. She departed the country for good and wrote this book.
