Description
Teo A. Babun and Victor Andres Triay. 2005.The Cuban Revolution: Years of Promise. Gainesville: University Press of Florida. 117 pp. ISBN: 0-8130-2860-4. As the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution of 1959 draws near, new assessments of its origins, course, and legacies are clearly needed. Fortunately, while state archives and most records related to this period in Cuba remain closed to historians and citizens alike, a growing number of private institutions and individuals have begun to make previously unknown collections available to researchers. While written sources of a primary nature remain rare, the release of photographs documenting the rise to prominence of Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement in the anti-Batista struggle of the 1950s and the early years of the Revolution are increasingly common. Thus, along with Yale University's recent on-line release of thousands of digitized images taken by U.S.-based Hungarian journalist Andrew St. George, Teo Babun and Victor Andres Triay's publication of a small but equally fascinating set of political portraits offer a much needed visual reprise. Although most of the photographs in Babun and Triay's book focus on Fidel Castro's guerrillas in the mountains, it also includes a number of scenes from the bloody struggle of the middle-class urban underground and the early euphoric days of January 1959. However, after offering a series of photographs that depict one of the revolutionary government's many executions of Batista's intelligence and security agents on January 2, 1959, the book inexplicably skips ahead to focus on the exodus of exiles to Miami and the CIA-directed invasion force (known as Brigade 2506) that revolutionary loyalists defeated at the Bay of Pigs.
