Other Revolutionaries? - Except for the ones I know.

[Comrade Daniel]

Well there were more than 80 of them (in the beginning) what about the others I only know:
Cienfuegos Gorriarán, Camilo
Fidel Castro
Raúl Castro
Guevara Serna, Ernesto "Che"

Does someone know something about the others?

[Larissa]

Ernesto Castillo, (Cuban) still alive
Alfonso Guillén Zelaya (Mexican) died already
and the following who were killed soon after they arived at Cuba: (battle of ojo del Toro)
Antonio (Ñico) López Fernández, José Smith Comas, Cándido González Morales, Miguel Cabañas Perojo, Tomás David Royo Valdés, Raúl Suárez Martínez, Noelio Capote Figueroa y René Reiné García.

Ñico López was a close friend of Che's.

[Comrade Daniel]

Thanks Larissa

[Kapitan Andrey]

I also know "Cpt.Siro Redondo"...he died and Che named his colon by his name!

[Wolfie]

Well Carlos Franqui, Faustino Perez and Armando Hart were all part of the revolutionary force in the Maestra but im not sure if they were part of the original 'Granma' rebels. You also must not forget Juan Almeida who may have just saved Ernesto's life when the rebels came under attack from Batistas forces for the first time.

[Larissa]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh YES!!! I met Armando Hart a couple of months ago at the Cuban Embassy in Buenos Aires, on an event about Martí.

(He was married to Haydeé Santamarina until she committed suicide)

Thanks! *I have read many online bio's about him, i was just wondering if anyone came accross an in-depth one, such as the numerous ones about Che. Right now i can't find an english one(only 1 in spanish and 1 in french).

i am hoping if the Che movie comes out, it will spark a new intrest in these people, and someone will write a book(or translate) a book on Camilo Cienfuegos.

but thanks again for the info and links.
