¿POR QUÉ FIDEL ABANDONÓ AL CHE? is a harrowing book of journalistic investigation. In the course of the author's journey he encounters the failures of the guerrilla projects in Salta (Argentina) and the Congo, both led by Che, who later dies in the last of the guerrilla attempts in La Higuera, Bolivia. But what is humanly striking is that in Bolivia he dies without his boots, hungry, without his asthma medications and with most of his fellow guerrillas dead.But paradoxically, during the outcome of this drama and from Havana, Fidel Castro does not activate any operation to save Che from the gigantic ambush in which he has fallen in Bolivia, but instead crosses his arms at times or moves some very precise pieces of the political-operative chess to sink it even more in its almost suicidal isolation.And in his ideology Guevara points out all the moments in which he asked for help and Fidel Castro did not give it. And the most incisive thing, from an existential philosophy point of view, is that, being captured in deplorable conditions, Guevara has more desire to live than to die. Then he asks his captors not to kill him, because "I'm worth more alive than dead." Immediately after being executed, violating all existing military codes of ethics, the Bolivian military command orders his hands to be cut off in an unusual act of physical castration. Reading this book together with the Diary of Che Guevara in Bolivia demonstrates the total abandonment that Guevara suffered from Fidel Castro and his regime. ¿POR QUÉ FIDEL ABANDONÓ AL CHE? es un libro desgarrador de investigación periodística. En el curso del recorrido del autor se encuentra con los fracasos de los proyectos guerrilleros en Salta (Argentina) y el Congo, ambos liderados por el Che, que muere posteriormente en el último de los intentos guerrilleros en La Higuera, Bolivia. Pero lo llamativo humanamente es que en Bolivia muere sin sus botas, hambriento, sin sus medicamentos para el asma y con la mayoría de sus compañeros de guerrilla muertos.Pero paradójicamente, durante el desenlace de este drama y desde La Habana, Fidel Castro no activa ningún operativo para salvar al Che de la gigantesca emboscada en la que ha caído en Bolivia, sino que se cruza de brazos por momentos o mueve algunas piezas muy precisas del ajedrez político-operativo para hundirlo aún más en su aislamiento casi suicida.Y en su ideario Guevara señala todos los momentos en que pidió ayuda y no se la dio Fidel Castro. Y lo más incisivo, desde un punto de vista de filosofía existencial, es que, al ser capturado en condiciones deplorables, Guevara tiene más deseos de vivir que de morir. Entonces le pide a sus captores que no lo maten, porque valgo más vivo que muerto. Inmediatamente después de ser ejecutado, violando todos los códigos de ética militar existentes, el mando militar boliviano ordena que le corten las manos en un acto inusitado de castración física. Leer este libro junto con el Diario del Che Guevara en Bolivia, demuestra ese abandono total que sufrió Guevara de Fidel Castro y su régimen.

The historiography on the Cuban Revolution is rich and abundant, but it suffers a major problem: it lacks rigorous studies about the opposition movement that emerged in Cuba when some of the country's political leadership, headed by Fidel Castro, decided to push the island-nation towards a horizon characterized by the enthronement of a radical and anti-democratic regime. One of the main groups organized to defend the feasibility of the promised and previously agreed democratic society, sought and fought by many before 1959, was the Cuban Student Directorate (Directorio Revolucionario Cubano-DRE), an organization founded by pro-democracy Cuban students in 1960. El sueño inconcluso. Historia del Directorio Revolucionar­io Estudiantil (DRE), Cuba 1959-1966 is a book about the history of this organization. It is also an account of other numerous and important aspects that were part of the political dynamic of this history, like the role played by catholicism in shaping the response given by the students to the radicalization of the Revolution. El sueño inconcluso follows, not only the confrontation between the students and the Cuban government, but it also examines the involvement of the governments of the United States and that of the Soviet Union in the Cuban question. This is a history that belongs to the Cold War. This is a historical work based on a thorough research that includes interviews with central figures within the DRE, the examination of hundreds of documents that are part of DRE's archive collection, as well as the vast amount of documents produced by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and by the Department of State. Likewise, the research took into account the extensive bibliography that deals with such a key period within the Cuban history.
