I earned degrees in political science and secondary education at Florida Atlantic University. When my mother passed away when I was age four, I was sent to Cuba during the revolutionary years to live with my eventual stepmother, Norma Busot-Ramos, who had been Fidel's secretary as well as engaged to one of his closest friends and mentor, Abel Santamaria. After receiving Norma's memoirs, I began to be inspired by the beauty, art, music and politics of Cuba. "Having lived in Cuba during the revolution and having been surrounded by the revolutionaries in Fidel's inner circle, I bring a keen insight and personal reality to the subject of Fidel and the Cuban revolution. My closeness to the revolution and its players allows me to delve into the who, what, where and when of this controversial subject." Walter A. Carmona is a retired high school teacher.
