Synopsis: This book is the result of three trips to Cuba in 1974 and 1975 by Frank Mankiewicz and Kirby Jones. The first trip lasted from June 29 to July 21, 1974; the second from September 28 to October 6, 1974; and the third from January 24 to February 4, 1975. The main purpose of the trips was to conduct an in-depth interview with Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro for American television. Over the course of four days and nights from July 18 to July 21, we spent more than eleven hours in formal interview with Castro and another twelve hours in informal conversation and traveling with him by jeep throughout the Havana area. All conversations with Castro were conducted in Spanish. During the second trip, there were an additional two hours of filmed interview, and over six hours were spent meeting informally with Castro.
