More from Fidel Castro
"The greatest satisfaction of a revolutionary is to feel that he is useful to his people."
"We are not going to be intimidated by anyone. We are going to defend our revolution."
"Our country is not a country of rich people. It is a country of people who are determined to be free."
"I don't think there is a single country in the world that has been subjected to such an aggression, such a blockade, such a systematic campaign of destabilization, as Cuba."
"I think that I will die with the boots on."
About Fidel Castro (1926-2016)
Cuban revolutionary who overthrew Batista in 1959 and led Cuba's communist state for 49 years through 11 US presidents. Closely associated with Che Guevara (his revolutionary partner) and Hugo Chávez (Latin American successor in Venezuela). For an intellectual contrast, see Ronald Reagan, Cold War US president — Reagan's hardline anti-communism and economic-warfare strategy made Cuba a test case for the entire late-Cold-War US foreign policy — the institutional power Castro's island state spent 49 years resisting.
