Description

Leftist revolutions against right-wing authoritarian regimes in the developing world were not uncommon in the middle decades of the twentieth century, and former Cuban President Fidel Castro’s 26th of July Movement had parallels elsewhere. In the decades since Castro toppled Fulgencio Batista’s regime in 1959, however, most of the rest of the world has moved on—even as the communist regime Castro established has remained in place. And for more than half a century, implacable hostility between revolutionary Cuba and its huge capitalist neighbor to the north has been a constant feature of life in the Americas. At least, until now.
