More from Fidel Castro
"We will continue to fight for our ideals, no matter how difficult the struggle."
"We are not afraid of weapons; we are not afraid of bombs; we are not afraid of anything. We are only afraid of hunger and unemployment."
"I am a Marxist-Leninist and I will be a Marxist-Leninist until the last day of my life."
"I ask your forgiveness for having fallen. To prevent speculation, I observe I have a fracture in the knee and maybe the arm too, I'm not sure."
"The greatest glory of the revolution is not to have defeated imperialism, but to have created a new man."
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.
