A Pathfinder upgraded edition. The Cuban Revolution of 1959 had a worldwide political impact, including on working people and youth in the imperialist heartland. As the mass, proletarian-based struggle for Black rights was already advancing in the U.S., the social transformation fought for and won by the Cuban toilers set an example that socialist revolution is not only necessary it can be made and defended.

Foreward and postface by Mary-Alice Waters, 8-page photo section and other photos, index. Now with enlarged type. Also available in: Spanish, French
