It reads like an exciting novel, moving between political thriller, epic, and the magical realism of García Márquez. It is a revelatory biography of Fidel Castro, the result of years of research, hundreds of interviews, and exclusive testimonies about the multifaceted personality of a tyrant, missionary, Marxist, and Jesuit.

The author reveals unknown details about Castro's tumultuous loves, both official and unofficial, his illegitimate children, his deep hatred for his family and for homosexuals. He brings to light Castro's unique relationships with the intelligence services, the repression system he imposed, the behind-the-scenes of the 'missile crisis', the background of President Kennedy's assassination, and the circumstances of Che's death, which is finally clarified.

He also analyzes Cuba's role in the Chilean issue that led to the downfall and death of Salvador Allende, the Ochoa case, Gorbachev's fears that he would be assassinated in Cuba, as well as the U.S. game that, after assassination attempts against Castro in the 1960s, reached the point of tolerating him to have a 'sample of harmless communism' at their borders.
