Includes bibliographical references and index.

Youth, soldier, officer, first command -- Minister but nonetheless a soldier -- We'll Have to Think Again : the '80s and the weakening of the Soviet Connection -- The Special Period for Ra�ul, the FAR and Cuba -- Partial Recuperation and Last Years as Minister -- A Military Man as President -- A Revolutionary Soldier and "His" Revolutionary Defence System -- Conclusions.

This book tells the story of the military life of the longest serving minister of defense of any country in recent times. While the picture that often emerges of Raul Castro is that of a colorless younger brother of Fidela product essentially of that grander figure b7 sthis book analyzes Raul Castro as a man of his own, a politician and an impressive military commander and organizer, as well as a highly original thinker on both military matters and wider national issues that have faced the Cuban state over more than half a century. Filling a gap in recent scholarship, it demonstrates that the government he has put into place in Cuba in the last four years is very much his, and is not, as some believe, a mere shadow of his brother's.
