July 26, 1953 turned out to be an ugly day for Cuba
In fact, the attack was a disaster since more than 60 of the 185 “rebels” involved were killed. Castro and the survivors escaped and were eventually discovered and captured.
Castro was tried a few months later and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He defended himself and turned it into a book.
While in prison in Isla de Pinos, he wrote letters and continued to plot Batista’s overthrow. He also enjoyed prison benefits later denied to the men and women that he executed or locked up.
After having served less than two years, he was released in May 1955 due to a general amnesty. My guess is that Batista regretted that amnesty to the end of his life.
Castro left Cuba and went to Mexico, met Che and the rest is the history that we are all too familiar with.
Today, Cuba is a dictatorship: Thousands of executions, no one knows for sure how many died leaving the country in rafts and many are still sitting in political prisons.
The Castro regime never allowed fair trials, free election or had a general amnesty to empty the prisons.
In short, Castro devastated a beautiful country and a prosperous island.
What are Cuba’s political prisons like? Read Armando Valladares “Against all Hope”. You will learn all you need to know about the legacy of July 26.
In retrospect, July 26 turned out to be a very bad day for Cuba.
