Juanita Castro, the younger sister of Cuban leaders Fidel and Raul Castro, worked for the CIA during some crucial years of the Cold War, she says in her new memoir.
Juanita Castro, originally a supporter of the Cuban revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959, said she became disillusioned by growing injustice.
"They wanted to talk to me because they had interesting things to tell me, and interesting things to ask of me, such as if I was willing to take that risk, if I was ready to listen to them. I was semi-shocked, but I said yes anyway," she told CNN affiliate Univision-Noticias 23 in Miami, Florida.
Univision's interviewer, journalist Maria Antonieta Collins, co-wrote the book. "My Brothers
Fidel and
Raul, the Secret History" was released Monday
Castro wrote that she agreed to help on the condition that she would not do anything violent against her brothers. She also refused payment when it was offered, she said.
(I have no idea what this lady must have gone through to have a brother who is an evil leader and wanting the Cuba people to be freed but at the same time not wanting her brothers to be hurt. Good for her and God Bless her. Pray for the people of Cuba and that they will soon have freedom. Read more of the above story
