About this audiobook

How did the Cuban Revolution change the course of Cuban history and impact Cold War dynamics? This book explores the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959), when Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and other revolutionaries overthrew the corrupt government of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. It examines the social, political, and economic conditions that led to the revolution, including widespread poverty, inequality, and corruption. The narrative covers the key moments of the revolution, from the attack on the Moncada Barracks to the final battle that led to Batista’s flight. By analyzing the subsequent establishment of a communist government in Cuba and its relationship with the Soviet Union, the book discusses the revolution’s impact on Cuban society, global Cold War politics, and the ongoing U.S.-Cuba relationship, while examining the broader themes of revolution, ideology, and the quest for national sovereignty.
