Description
The core of the book 'Attack on the Barracks' is the 'first day of the Cuban Revolution,' July 26, 1953, when Fidel Castro and his comrades attacked the Moncada Barracks in Santiago to gain a base for overthrowing the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista. The author primarily based his work on interviews with participants of the struggle. To understand the significance of this event, the preceding period of the arduous fight for Cuba's liberation from Spanish and American domination is outlined. The defeat of the Fidelists in the attack on Moncada marked the beginning of a victorious struggle, and Fidel Castro's name became a symbol of resistance.
