About the author

Cuban-born writer and journalist, she was the only journalist present in court when Fidel Castro was tried after the 1953 attack on the Moncada army barracks in Santiago, Cuba's second-largest installation; her first book, El Juicio del Moncada (1964), is therefore an invaluable historical testimony. Her subsequent books include: Viet Nam del Sur (1966) and Senas de Viet Nam (1959), drawing on her experiences as a war correspondent; Tania, la guerrillera inolvidable (1974) and El que deb vivir (Casa de las Américas Prize, 178). El aula verde (1981) and El médico de la familia (1986) are chronicles based on her journalistic work. Her first work of fiction was La Cueva del Muerto (1988).
