Responsible for protecting the life of Fidel Castro for seventeen years, Juan Reinaldo Sanchez was party to his secret life as well as his public life. From the ghost town in which guerrillas from several continents were trained; to Castro's immense personal fortune (including a huge property portfolio and a secret paradise island); the seizure of public money; and family relationships with his nine children from five different partners, Sanchez saw it all. This expose reveals countless state secrets and shows Castro as the genius war leader in Nicaragua and Angola, the paranoid autocrat at home, a master spy and Machiavellian diplomat, and an accomplice to drug traffickers. Sanchez displeased Castro after he asked to retire early. After his imprisonment and torture, he escaped from Cuba in 2008, and made a new life in Miami where he passed away in May 2015.
