UCL Americas book launch: A Hidden History of the Cuban Revolution

Introduction by Dr Kate Quinn, UCL Americas (up to minute 05:00) and presentation by book's author Dr Steve Cushion - To both its supporters and detractors, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally understood as having been won by a small band of guerrillas. This book turns the conventional wisdom on its head, and argues that the Cuban working class played a much more decisive role in the Revolution’s outcome than previously understood. It contends that that significant portions of the Cuban working class launched an underground movement in tandem with the guerrillas operating in the mountains.
