Who is Fidel Castro from Guerrilla Warfare and what is their importance?

Fidel Castro is the leader of Communist Cuba and along with his brother Raul and Che Guevara, he led the successful communist revolution that overthrew the Batista regime. His revolutionary activities began while he was a student in Havana and culminated in a failed act of sabotage that led to this arrest. He was then deported to Mexico where he met with other revolutionaries sympathetic to his cause. In Mexico he met Che and began to train forces that would later invade Cuba and begin a guerilla war in the hills.
