This is not the autobiography of Fidel's brother-Raul Castro Ruz-but of the former diplomat and governor of Arizona. It would be easy to dismiss this brief work-Castro's short term as Arizona governor was uneventful-but it would be a mistake. Castro was born in Mexico in 1916; his family moved to Arizona when he was ten, and he became a U.S. citizen in 1939. Graduating from Northern Arizona University at the height of the Depression, he survived as a boxer, hobo, and picker before beginning a career as a lawyer, diplomat, and teacher. He was elected governor of Arizona in 1974, having previously served as an ambassador to El Salvador and then Bolivia in the LBJrnand Nixon administrations, and he later served as ambassador to Argentina.
