His first name means faithful in Latin,but Cuba's Fidel Castro is an insatiable womaniser who has fathered at least 10 children by a string of women in the small island nation of 11 million people,says a new book. Castro's private life has always been strictly taboo in Cuba's state-controlled media. And,he has also rarely been photographed with any of the women he has been involved with. Now,investigative journalist Ann Louise Bardach has revealed in her upcoming book,chronicling the lives of Castro and his brother Raul,that while revolutionising the Cuba,the El Commandante had another personal agenda - that of creating a tribe,'The Daily Telegraph' reported. Castro,now 83,has a child,Fidelito (Little Fidel),with his first wife Myrta Diaz-Balart in 1949 and five boys between 1962 and 1974 with Dalia Soto del Valle,a little-seen companion whom he is said to have secretly married in 1980. But there have been many more paramours and several other children along the way - most notably from the time when the 29-year-year old rebel leader celebrated his release from prison in 1955 for a failed uprising,the book says. For three Castro offspring were born to three women during 1956. Most famously,there was Natalia Revuelta,an aristocratic beauty who became a fierce defender of his revolution - she bore him a daughter,Alina Fernandez.
