Synopsis

Fidel Castro, one of the chief protagonists of the Cold War and Washington's traditional foe, casts a critical eye over the significance of Barack Obama's election and his performance in his first term of office.

Since retiring from public life in 2006, the Cuban leader has continued to make characteristically forthright comments on world events and US political developments, such as the successful passage of President Obama's health reform bill and whether US–Cuba relations might finally be improving.

This new, updated edition includes Fidel Castro's response to the Arizona assassination attempt and President Obama's 2011 State of the Union address.
