Description:

When Castro became a candidate for Congress in 1952, the elections were called off because former president Fulgencio Batista staged a coup. The people of Cuba thought that “fifty years of turmoil” was finally going to end, but Fidel Castro was the maddest - he saw his future political career crumble before his eyes.
