Leaflet: Fidel Castro On the 28th anniversary of the attack on the Moncada Garrison, Las Tunas, 26th of July 1981

Today is the 64th anniversary of the historic attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba by a band of Cuban rebels led by Fidel Castro -- an event seen as the beginning of the Cuban Revolution that would culminate in the overthrow of the Batista and the liberation of Cuba from American imperialist domination in 1959.

 To honour this we are posting a speech given by Fidel Castro on the 28th anniversary of the attack in 1981.

This speech talks of the revolution's remarkable accomplishments as well as of the persistent and vicious attempts of the United States to destroy it.

When The Left Chapter began part of what I wanted to do on the blog was to show and highlight vintage public leftist election/political leaflets and booklets. While many of these have been offered with commentary to date, a very large collection of hundreds of them from several different sources remains and to preserve these often quite rare documents we will be posting them on a regular (almost daily) basis now often without or with minimal commentary so that people may have access to them as quickly as possible as an historical resource. 

While these will all be leaflets from a variety of different leftist viewpoints and countries, they are being posted as an historical/study resource and the views or opinions expressed in them do not necessarily reflect the views of this blog or blogger.

All of these posts (as well as posts made to date) will be listed on the page: Vintage Communist/Socialist Leaflets (which is still being updated with past posts).
