About the Author
Ilona Marita Lorenz was born in Germany in 1939 and as a child, was interned in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. In the years that followed, she often sailed with her father who was captain of a ship and in 1959, she met Fidel Castro, with whom she fell in love with. Later the CIA would recruit and send her to assassinate Fidel - and act she was unable to commit. Her life would take many more twists and turns - including having a child with ex-dictator of Venezuela, Marcos Perez Jimenez; testifying about the John G Kennedy assassination; becoming a party girl with close ties to the New York Mafia, as well as a police informant. She lives in America.
Review
“Marita Lorenz is the Forrest Gump of the Cold War. She was Fidel Castro’s lover and his would-be assassin. She was also seemingly involved in or present for almost every important geo-political event of that era: from the founding of communist Cuba to the Bay of Pigs invasion to the Kennedy assassination. By all accounts, she seems to be a woman attracted to danger. According to Lorenz: ‘One thing just led to another.’ Lorenz, who is now 78 and living in Brooklyn, has penned a book about her cloak-and-dagger life.”
- New York Post
“Every event is like a tabloid headline in this engrossing memoir.”
- Foreword Reviews
“Lorenz delivers a tale of espionage and deceit, told with rueful candor.”
- Kirkus Reviews
“Lorenz sure has a whopper of a tale.”
- Library Journal
