What's up to all my nimble mutineers and artful subversives!
Welcome back for Part 3 of the original BNP series, Revisiting Fidel and the Cuban Revolution, covering 1956 - 1961.This episode we first retread a little bit of ground, from 1956 - 1958, to pick up some important pieces that were left out in Part 2, particularly relating to the extraordinary human character, efforts and achievements of certain of the rebels, as well as taking a deeper look at the specific guerrilla tactics employed by the Fidelistas and July 26 Movement in their protracted struggle against the vastly superior firepower of Batista's U.S.-backed armed forces.
Che, Fidel, Camilo, Raul and their band of tattered rebels were outnumbered 1500:1 when they first set up camp in the Sierra Maestras. Their survival in those rugged first weeks in a hostile jungle was directly reliant on the intrepid procurement and delivery of supplies from the city, facilitated by two unsung heroes of the revolution, the guerreras Celia Sanchez and Vilma Espin.
We then move forward through the revolution, recounting a couple key victories for the rebels that ultimately propel the force into Havana and into power, promptly filling the vacuum created after Batista's midnight getaway to the Dominican Republic.
The episode finishes out in March of 1960, by introducing the incipient stage of Operation Mongoose, a CIA backed and Eisenhower approved multi-year and multi-front mission to assassinate Castro and overthrow the fledgling Socialist state.
