A well designed biography on Fidel Castro. I believe this was designed by Henry Sene Yee. Does anyone notice the nice tie between the Cuban dictator and a cigar box? I wonder if this tie was simply because one of the most obvious links between us and Fidel are Cuban cigars? I do like the nice touch of wood on the spine. I also think that it works well to place the endorsement (things we as book designers tend to look down upon) in the black bar on the bottom of the book.
