The general timeline of the Cuban Revolution of 1956-1958: It was led by two of the 20th century's most iconic figures, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara; it successfully overthrew the island nation's US-backed dictator; and it quickly went awry under Castro's rule. In this wildly entertaining and meticulously researched account, Tony Perrottet unravels the human drama behind history's most improbable revolution: a scruffy handful of self-taught revolutionaries--many of them kids just out of college, literature majors, art students and young lawyers, and including a number of women--defeated 40,000 professional soldiers to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Cuba Libre's deep dive into the revolution reveals fascinating details and is an entertaining look back at a liberation movement that captured the imagination of the world with its spectacular drama, foolhardy bravery, tragedy, and, sometimes, high comedy--and that set the stage for a buildup of Cold War tension that became a pivotal moment in history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. 600 10 $a Guevara, Che, $d 1928-1967. 600 17 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00052772 600 17 $a Guevara, Che, $d 1928-1967. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01800952 611 27 $a Revolution (Cuba : 1959) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354503 648 7 $a 1959 $2 fast 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 21st Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Caribbean & West Indies / Cuba. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y Revolution, 1959. 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 13 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014820.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409032643.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015252.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010342.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053440.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20220128010317.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20191004011459.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20190719010715.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20190323010731.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305061234.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190215010344.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190202020808.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D8F291226B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
