Revolution Without Generals
Beals, Carleton | January 17, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro, completing his triumphant tour of Cuba, entered this capital not on the traditional white horse, but herding a captured fleet of tanks along the edge of the city. The noisy vehicles were herded into Camp Columbia, Castro's new residence; and there his first official act was to receive the mothers, of boys who had been killed, under his command, in the battle for the Moncada Barracks in Santiago more than five years ago. Of the U.S. Military Mission, to Batista, Cuba's new leader said: "Nothing it taught the Cuban Army had any value; it merely assured the triumph of tile revolution." And meanwhile the revolution sweeps on in many directions.
