Always flamboyant for his military attire, Cuban cigars and long beard, Fidel Castro is indeed one of the most familiar figures in world history. He is a communist/Marxist revolutionary leader who became prime minister and later president of Cuba when he seized power in a popular coup from General Fulgencio Batista in 1959. He immediately set up a socialist government and supported marxist movements all over the world much to the chagrin of America which had made several consequent attempts to assassinate him. Though a hero to most Cubans, he is also seen as the devils incarnate by many others who had been driven into exile by his autocratic rule. Following ill health he handed over power to his brother Raul in 2008.
