In the annals of journalism, Herbert L. Matthews holds a distinguished place. As a correspondent for The New York Times, he witnessed firsthand some of the most momentous events of the 20th century, including the rise and fall of dictators, the outbreak of wars, and the unfolding of revolutions.

In Reporting the Cuban Revolution, Matthews provides an eyewitness account of this pivotal event, offering a unique perspective on the charismatic leaders, the passionate rebels, and the dramatic events that shaped the course of history.

A Rare Glimpse into a Hidden World

When Matthews first arrived in Cuba in 1957, the country was on the brink of revolution. Fidel Castro and his band of rebels were waging a guerrilla war against the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista. Matthews, with his keen eye for detail and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, gained unprecedented access to both sides of the conflict.

He also provides a nuanced portrait of Castro, revealing the complex motivations and ambitions of the man who would become one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century.

Objectivity and Insight

Matthews' reporting on the Cuban Revolution is remarkable for its objectivity and insight. Despite his sympathy for the rebels' cause, he never shied away from criticizing their actions or questioning their motives.
