Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Anthony DePalma, escribe una fascinante y bien documentada biografa de Herbert L. Matthews, el destacado periodista del New York Times que adems de haber sido el autor de una histrica entrevista a Fidel Castro en 1957, fue corresponsal de guerra en la invasin de Abisinia por la Italia fascista y durante la guerra civil espaola. 'Una vida tras las huellas de la verdad le haba enseado a Herbert Matthews que ninguna mentira es ms poderosa que los mitos, y que ninguna verdad es ms frgil que aquella que nadie quiere or. Estaba convencido de que un mito haba arruinado prcticamente sus cuarenta y cinco aos de carrera como editorialista, reportero, y corresponsal; uno de los corresponsales extranjeros ms influyentes y controvertidos del siglo XX. Culpaba a las verdades desagradables al odo por convertir su vida en un infierno. Matthews se haba internado en las impenetrables montaas cubanas, de las que haba emergido con una exclusiva sensacional para la portada de The New York Times: Fidel Castro, a quien se crea muerto haca ya meses, se encontraba vivo y saludable, y haba sido elegido para conducir la revolucin en Cuba. Su firma, arrancada de las notas de Matthews, apareca bajo una fotografa en la que se vea a Castro saliendo de los bosques con un rifle de mira telescpica y un rostro exento de malicia. La entrevista, llevada a cabo en el escondite de Castro en la Sierra, marc un momento decisivo en la historia de Cuba y, pasando el tiempo, tambin en la de los Estados Unidos, puesto que seal el primer escaln en el ascenso de Castro al poder. Por un tiempo, al menos, convirti a Matthews y a Castro en figuras heroicas.' La red de relaciones entre Castro, Matthews y el New York Times descritas con gran detalle por DePalma sirve de marco para apreciar los conflictos que enfrentan de manera cotidiana los medios de comunicacin, en particular los que surgen de la confusin entre informacin objetiva y opinin partidista. Anthony DePalma es un destacado periodista del New York Times donde escribe regularmente desde hace mas de 20 aos. Fue corresponsal y Jefe de la redaccin en Mxico y Canad y ha cubierto eventos importantes en todo el hemisferio, incluyendo Cuba. Tambin es autor del libro Here: A Biography of the New American Continent (PublicAffairs, 2001). DePalma vive en Montclair, NJ, con su esposa Miriam y sus tres hijos.
