Learn all about the man who shaped Cuba for more than half a decade,\u201d the description states. \u201cAfter overthrowing Fulgencia Batista in 1959, Fidel Castro became the leader of an island country only ninety miles away from Florida. While in power, Castro outlasted ten US presidents and turned the small nation into a one-party state with influence over the entire world. Called a leader by some and a dictator by others, Castro defined not one but several eras in world politics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fidel Castro was a despotic and murderous dictator who destroyed the nation of Cuba both socially and economically. One such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB113590852154334404\">example<\/a> of particular evil was described by the InterAmerican Human Rights Commission on April 7, 1967.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOn May 27, [1966,] 166 Cubans \u2014 civilians and members of the military \u2014 were executed and submitted to medical procedures of blood extraction of an average of seven pints per person. This blood is sold to Communist Vietnam at a rate of $50 per pint with the dual purpose of obtaining hard currency and contributing to the Vietcong Communist aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cA pint of blood is equivalent to half a liter. Extracting this amount of blood from a person sentenced to death produces cerebral anemia and a state of unconsciousness and paralysis. Once the blood is extracted, the person is taken by two militiamen on a stretcher to the location where the execution takes place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One particularly brutal review described the book as a \u201cHorrible depiction of a dictator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI would rate this zero stars if I could. I got this book for my 12 year old nephew with several others books in this series. I held this one back. Fidel was an evil person responsible for destroying its people and country. This book paints him to be an angel. My family lived and suffered under Fidel\u2019s brutal dictatorship.
