Introduction by Dr Kate Quinn, UCL Americas (up to minute 05:00) and presentation by book's author Dr Steve Cushion - To both its supporters and detractors, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally understood as having been won by a small band of guerrillas.

It contends that that significant portions of the Cuban working class launched an underground movement in tandem with the guerrillas operating in the mountains.
