Fidel Castro : leader of Cuba's Revolution
Gibb, Tom2001
Book
Subject: As a young man, Fidel dreamt of a free and independent Cuba. He led a ragged band of guerilla fighters who fought the dictator, Fulgencio Batista. With the support of most Cubans, Fidel overthrew him. Castro's new government took land from the rich to give to the poor, and taught the people to read and write. But his friendship with the Soviet Union made the USA his enemy; also, many Cubans felt he had too much power. This book tells the story of Fidel Castro and how he changed a country.
