From the Escambray to the Congo : In the Whirlwind of the Cuban Revolution

The author describes how easy it became after the Cuban Revolution to take down a rope segregating blacks from whites in the town square, yet how enormous was the battle to transform social relations underlying all the "ropes" inherited from capitalism and Yankee domination. Dreke, second in command of the internationalist column in the Congo led by Che Guevara in 1965, recounts the creative joy with which working people have defended their revolutionary course--from Cuba's Escambray mountains to Africa and beyond.This book is part of a series, The Cuban Revolution in World Politics by Pathfinder Press.Introduction by Mary-Alice Waters, 24-page photo section and other photos, maps, glossary, index Paper, 182 pagesAlso available in: Spanish
