Who is Batista Fulgencio from Guerrilla Warfare and what is their importance?

Batista was the president and military leader of Cuba on and off from 1933-1959. His regime was closely allied with the United States who, in an abortive attempt at the Bay of Pigs, attempted to support the Bastitan regime against Castro and his forces. His regime was eventually overthrown, largely due to the guerilla war waged by Che and Castro, and replaced by a communist regime led by Castro.
