The Man Who Owned Everything: Cold War 309: Cuban Revolution #34
About this episode
The episode explores the implications of Castro's agrarian reform law and its impact on US-Cuba relations, including a dramatic political event involving Castro.
This week we dig into the fallout from Castro’s agrarian reform law — the land grabs, the diplomatic notes flying between Havana and Washington, and the moment a Texas cattle baron handed Eisenhower the blueprint for 60+ years of US Cuba policy. We also cover Castro’s brilliant political theatre: a fake resignation on live TV that ended with a million people in the streets demanding he come back, and a new president who lasted about ten minutes.
