Aureliano Sanchez Arango, 53, a former Minister of State of Cuba and one of the early fighters against ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista, charges that "while Castro had ideas, he had no program; the Communists gave him the program." The man most responsible is Major Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, 32, an Argentine physician, Castro's best field commander, and a Red. A Castro official recalls that when Guevara returned from a three-month trip around the world in September 1959, "things began to happen." Part One: Brainwashing.

...rapidly overtaking the U.S. in all production indices." Russia's technique, the professional revolutionary told the amateurs, was that it took over agriculture and industry and gave them to their "rightful owners, the people, confiscating without compensation all the means of production." In the same groove Banker Guevara, over TV the night before, announced that the revolution planned to take over at least 51% control of the basic industries in Cuba...
