Third publication in the series "Fidel Absolved by History: American Voices in Dialogue with Cuba." Herbert Matthews
Sixty years ago, a groundbreaking news report from the heart of Cuba’s Sierra Maestra shook the international press and shattered one of the Batista regime’s most repeated lies: Fidel Castro was not dead. He was alive—and leading a guerrilla front in eastern Cuba. This revelation came from American journalist Herbert L. Matthews, whose articles began appearing in The New York Times on February 24, 1957.
