In this dual portrait of the Castro brothers, Bardach, an award-winning investigative journalist with extensive experience covering Cuba, explores Fidel’s legacy and speculates on a post-Raúl government. Based on extensive interviews with the Castros, Cuban citizens, émigrés in Miami, and members of the Obama administration, her work is a comprehensive study of the Castro era.
