Autorenporträt

Four months after graduating from Harvard College, David Landau reached fame with his classic book, Kissinger: The Uses of Power. In 1989 he met Emi and Adolfo Rivero, the brothers of the title, and remained their friend until they passed away in the 2010's. Landau is a trained historian as well as a novelist and publisher. Ricardo Bofill, who created Cuba's movement for human rights, called him "a special friend."
