Da contracapa: 

“Who were the revolutionary leaders who preceded Fidel Castro ? Who fought with him in the foothills of the Sierras, and in the cities ? What does the Cuban Communist Party do? Who can belong to it ? And why has every attempt to overthrow or isolate the Revolution failed ? 

In a dramatic combination of historical events, personal narrative, documents, and interviews, the author answers questions like these, offering the reader throughout the viewpoint of the people who made The Revolution.

“Quem foram os líderes revolucionários que precederam Fidel Castro? Quem lutou com ele nas montanhas e nas cidades? O que faz o Partido Comunista Cubano? Quem pode pertencer a ele? E por que todas as tentativas de derrubar ou isolar a Revolução fracassaram?

Numa combinação dramática de eventos históricos, narrativa pessoal, documentos e entrevistas, o autor responde a perguntas como essas, oferecendo ao leitor, ao longo da obra, a perspectiva das pessoas que fizeram a Revolução.
