Ninety miles from the coast of Florida, Fidel Castro seized control of Cuba in 1959 by overthrowing Fulgencio Batista and installed himself as the leader of a one-party state that would punch far above its size on the world stage. His grip on power was remarkable: Castro outlasted ten US presidents. Whether viewed as a revolutionary leader or as a dictator, his influence shaped multiple eras of world politics.
