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.
What happened?

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.
