Document Summary

Came from a middle class family and he was an illegitimate child of a middle class man and one of his servants. He was very unhappy with the batista government and in 1953 he took part in a revolt he organized on july 26th and later the movement was called the july 26th movement but it didn"t really get anywhere. Castro escaped originally but he was caught later and many were tortured and there were women involved too. At the time he was not a marxist as some say and he was just rebelling against the government with no real political ties and his rhetoric was more nationalistic than anything and this translated to being anti-usa. They were betrayed and it again was another disaster and 70 men were lost and killed but the survivors escaped to the south of cuba to the sierra maestra.
