PUBLISHERS WEEKLY WRITES ABOUT
PETER BOURNE'S "FIDEL"
FIDEL A Biography of Fid.I Castro
Peter G. Bourne Dodd, Mead, $18.95
ISBN 0-396-08518-0
Bourne, a psychiatrist with experience in
numerous government posts, was grant-
ed access to Cuban government archives
and talked with many people who have
worked closely with Castro. The result,
in addition to being a first-class chrono-
l 'cal biography, provides insight into
the Cuban leader's psyche, especially in
regard to his lifelong identification with,, ,`
L:- c .t._- t.e ...a..e..,.e ..c t..- r.,.t...tk- ' A
upbringing, and the extent to which his
support of revolutionary causes outside
Cuba can be seen as tied to psychologi-
cal needs. This first, full biography of
Castro in 15 years presents new material
about the Bay of Pigs and the 1962 mis-
sile crisis as seen from the Cuban point
of view. One of the book's many sur-
prises is the revelation of the depth of
Cuban resentment over Khrushchev's
failure to involve Cuba in the settlement
of the missile crisis. Bourne also traces
Castro's recent emergence as a mediator
rather than protagonist in Third World
conflicts. Major ad/p%nw.
