![Fidel Castro to Franklin Roosevelt [Letter]](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog1003507/stevereadsstoriesmin2.jpg){kind=logo}
On tonight's podcast, we'll be looking at a letter written in 1940 from a 12 year old Fidel Castro to president Franklin Roosevelt.
All things considered, the fact that this letter even exists is pretty amazing, not because of anything in it, but because somehow a message from a twelve year old boy who would just happen to become one of Cuba's most important leaders, found it's way to a U.S. President, just as the opening bells of World War II were ringing.
After asking for, well, I'll let you hear that for yourself -- Fidel even gives President Roosevelt some military advice in the post-script.
It's a bizarre and prophetic couple of paragraphs.
I hope you enjoy.
