Cuba's former president, Fidel Castro, on Tuesday said he would publish a new book in August on the revolution against the 10,000-strong army under former dictator Fulgencio Batista
The former Cuban president has told ‘CubaDebate', a state-run website, that the book will be called "The Strategic Victory."
After falling ill in 2006 and submitting power to his brother Raul, Fidel Castro, 83, said he had spent months working on the book.
‘The Strategic Victory' will also include a short memoir in which the former president recalls his childhood and describes how he became a revolutionary.
"I did not want to wait to respond to the numerous questions about my childhood, adolescence and youth and how I became a revolutionary and armed combatant", Mr Castro writes.
Fidel Castro led a revolution against Batista dictatorship in 1956 along with his fellow comrades including Ernesto Che Guevara, who played a prominent role in the victory against Batista.
