A Closer Look at a Revolutionary Decade

Lee Lockwood, a photojournalist born in the United States on December 31, 1958, traveled to Cuba to cover the end of the Batista regime, but arrived on the eve of F. Castro’s rise to power. Castro welcomed the journalist with open arms and, for the next decade, allowed him to travel freely throughout the island without any strict restrictions.

This publication features a collection of unique photographs from the revolutionary era, observations, and the now-iconic 7-day interview with Fidel Castro, which covers a wide range of topics—from racial issues in the U.S. to crises in the Caribbean.
