Meet
JONATHAN M. HANSEN
in conversation with MIMI WHITEFIELD
discussing
Young Castro: The Making of a Revolutionary
Thursday, June 27, 8pm
Books & Books, Coral Gables
“In his new book, Young Castro, Jonathan M. Hansen neither explores the legacy of Fidel Castro nor his place in history. He doesn’t judge his actions in seizing power for a half century or his hard left turn toward Communism.”
– Mimi Whitefield
Hansen captures the early life of Fidel Castro in Santiago de Cuba and Havana. These pages show a liberal democrat who admires FDR’s New Deal policies and is skeptical of communism, but is also hostile to American imperialism.
