Strangely, even though Fidel Castro has personified and elucidated the revolution's features there is no systematic study of his philosophy or political thought. There are certain predominant core values and ideas and policies in his speeches and the policies he sponsors. He is certainly nationalist.

In the early morning hours of April 3, 1959, Fidel Castro made a remarkable prediction that any sober listener undoubtedly dismissed as the product of an overheated imagination. Yet the Cuban Revolution, generator and center of the world-shaking missile crisis, did not fall very far short of being "one of the greatest political events in history." But perhaps of more enduring significance for Cuba, a small nation submerged in the backwash of history, the Revolution lifted it into the limelight and gave it a place in the sun.
Fidel Castro is well known as the leader of the Cuban revolution, a socialist and a strong political leader. Since 1959 he has ruled solemnly in a crisis-hunted Cuba, leading the nation through social reforms, US attacks and barricades, holding on to a clear idealistic policy.
