American William Alexander Morgan helped Fidel Castro overthrow dictator Fulgencio Batista...but 2 years later faced a firing squad.
Morgan was the sole gringo in Castro's rebel army...and even rose to the highest rank of comandante.

Author David Grann details the tragic...but fascinating tale...in full.
AND: More than a year after a undersea cable was promised...that would greatly speed up internet service for Cubans...nothing has changed.
