Hello everyone welcome back I'm your host James Rogers and this is the history

hit warfare podcast each week twice a week I bring you brand new original military

histories with some of the world's leading experts and then once a week I

delve deep into the history Hit Archives to pull out an

episode that I know deserves some more attention.

Now if you're liking what you're here so far, then drop us a five-star review on Apple Podcast or wherever you get your

podcasts because it really helps us to get out there to everyone who loves history and

so many of you have done it already that we're jumping up the charts in Apple

Podcast as one of the leading history

podcasts out there at the moment. So thank you all so much for that. This

episode is a real corker. It's about when Fidel Castro came to Harlem. Simon Hall joined

Dan on the podcast to talk about this trip to New York in September 1960.

Castro was based at Harlem's Teresa Hotel and he met with a succession an endless line of political

and cultural luminaries. These included everyone from Malcolm X and Nikita Khrushchev through to

Alan Ginsburg. Dan and Simon discussed the coming together of these revolutionary

as they embrace the politics of anti-imperialism, racial equality, and leftist revolutions.
