In 1959, in Havana, the capital of Cuba, hundreds of thousands of Fidel Castro's fans were waiting to hear his words. A week before on the first day of the new year, Castro's guerilla forces had taken control of Cuba after crushing the resistance of the Cuban army and the fall of dictator Ann Batista, and Castro's long-term rule over Cuba had begun. Cubans were ready to accept new leadership. After years of authoritarian rule, they were waiting for democracy and reforms promised by Fidel Castro. Even when he was a child, Fidel wanted to be in command, not to be obeyed. He was born in 1926 in his family's big farm. He loved the outdoors on the family farm, and when he was five, his parents sent him to Santiago in eastern Cuba to live with his godparents, who were to teach him. The book Fidel Castro deals with the life of the 84-year-old leader of Cuba and describes the important events in which he played a major role for the readers.
