His name was Carlos Diaz. Throughout his old, dusty journal with worn out pages, his words bring you on a journey through the chaotic battles on the road to change during the Cuban Revolution. Fueled with courage, strength, and a burning passion for change, Carlos joins the M-26-7 rebels. This is the story that documents his uncertainties, his victories and the ever-changing world around him.

Years of corruption, bribery, violence and social injustices had finally crossed the line. The people were angry. They wanted change. This was the start of the Cuban Revolution. After a long few years, filled with hundreds of battles, Fidel Castro gained the power. This change of control brought Cuba’s literacy rate to almost 100%. Universal healthcare was established for all Cubans, and the Agrarian Law Reform bettered the lives of many people. On the other hand, corruption still lived on in Castro’s government. Batista supporters were executed as Castro’s want for more power increased. With all of this in mind, the Cuban Revolution was definitely worth it because of the legendary impact it has left on the world. Fidel Castro is still seen as a hero. Che Guevara has become a global symbol of rebellion. The revolution as a whole inspired other Latin American countries to fight the battle against oppression. And most importantly, it achieved their ultimate goal, of improving the lives of all Cuban citizens.
