Summary:

This book not only relates the defining moments of the Cuban Revolution - such as the Moncada Barracks attack, the assault on Batista's Presidential Palace, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis - but also lesser-known events like the "War Against the Bandits"; the overseas adventures of Che Guevara in the Congo and Bolivia; Fidel Castro's possible prior knowledge of and involvement in JFK's assassination; Cuba's "silent war against the environment"; and ongoing foreign intelligence operations. The book contains information most readers and academicians may not be familiar with and utilizes major tomes as sources that have only been published in Spanish and so are not widely available to international audiences outside of Spain and Latin America. It will enlighten readers about the realities of the Cuban Revolution - its purported achievements as well as its definite shortcomings; its impact on world events in the last seven decades; and correct the record where needed - enhancing the fount of knowledge for further research by social scientists, historians, and political scientists.
