Customer Reviews

Exciting, incredible.

This woman lived one wild life. Some of it may seem unbelieveable, but I don't think you can make this kind of stuff up. She survived WWII and a rape by a soldier, was a lover of Fidel Castro and was solicited by the CIA to kill him, trained with anti-Castro militias, married the ex-dictator of Venezuela, lived for six months with her child by the dictator with stone age Indians in the jungles of Venezuela, and was recruited for the assassination of JFK. Eventually she hit bottom and now lives poverty in NYC. You have to pity this woman for what she suffered yet admire her for her bravery. I'm glad she didn't kill Castro and it she puts Castro in a good light. Too bad she didn't stay in Cuba. Her life was ruined by the CIA.

Marita Lorenz - - her book will not disappoint

Marita Lorenz's story is amazing. She wrote this book (along with Ted Schwarz). A friend had recommended it, and I was completely taken aback by Marita's life. If you are interested in history or just want to her an exciting true story of a strong and determined woman, read this book.
