helix Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 What an eye opener . Must read. Juan Reinaldo Sánchez memoires exposes the monster Castro really was. "In The Double Life of Fidel Castro, one of Castro’s soldiers of seventeen years breaks his silence and shares his memoirs of his years of service, his eventual imprisonment and torture for displeasing the notorious dictator, and his dramatic escape from Cuba. Responsible for protecting the Líder Máximo for two decades, Juan Reinaldo Sánchez was party to his secret life: from the ghost town in which guerrillas from several continents were trained; to Castro’s immense personal fortune, including a huge property portfolio, a secret paradise island, and seizure of public money; as well as his relationship with his family and his nine children from five different partners. Sánchez’s tell-all exposé reveals countless state secrets and the many sides of the Cuban monarch: genius war leader in Nicaragua and Angola, paranoid autocrat at home, master spy, Machiavellian diplomat, and accomplice to drug traffickers. This extraordinary testimony makes us reexamine everything we thought we knew about the Cuban story and Fidel Castro Ruz." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey rockets Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The only thing tyrants have to offer this world is their particular form of tyranny. When they are allowed to run amok, the ugliness in each of these folks is allowed to grow and magnify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeltee Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This sounds like a great read. Hopefully this will be made into a movie soon. Hollywood needs some original material. Remakes and sequels are growing old... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is a chicken/egg dilemma, do the perverse seek political power or does political power corrupt even those who were thought to be innocent?

And I would agree with him ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
