Fulgencio Batista
Fulgencio Batista president, and dictator who twice ruled Cuba (1933 – 44, 1952 – 59) suspended the 1940 constitution and Congress, canceled the elections, and dissolved all political parties.
It was a corrupt and brutal dictatorship that set the stage for his overthrow by Fidel Castro on Jan. 1, 1959.

The Ration Book or Libreta
The block's rationed-food stores ("No potatoes today," a smiling young woman said. "Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day"). Everyone had a little ration book, listing how many grams of what each person could buy. It allowed one roll of bread per person per day. "You get chicken maybe four times a year," a man said, "but certainly twice.”

Cuban children and their parents, sleeping outside their homes trying to escape from the heat, because there is no electricity to power fans or air conditioners. Castro blames the lack of oil for the continued interruptions in the electric power systems.
But how can that be possible when his puppet , Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, sends more than 90,000 barrels of oil daily at incredibly low prices? The answer is that Castro resells most of the oil that he receives from Chavez, instead of using it to benefit the Cuban people.
