In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the Great Liberator Simn Bolvar rivals Mart in stature and legacy. Beyond his accomplishments as a revolutionary and political thinker, Mart was a giant of Latin American letters, whose poetry, essays, and journalism still rank among the most important works of the region. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the apostle of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national saint.\n\nIn Jos Mart: A Revolutionary Life, Alfred J. Lpez presents the definitive biography of the Cuban patriot and martyr. Writing from a nonpartisan perspective and drawing on years of research using original Cuban.
