In the 1960's, Castro's Cuba flaunted their relationship with the Soviet Union and thrilled in watching the US squirm, especially after the botched Bay of Pigs invasion. This collection of (58) wire photos is a great example of the media, and the country's, obsession with the red menace of the Caribbean. Images include: Various May Day parades where Castro showed off his Soviet supplied arsenal; Yank hung in effigy over a Cuban store front; teenage girl guarding a Havana storefront as part of the militia & publications from communist countries at a newsstand; tours of downed US planes after the Bay of Pigs. Most are front captioned wire photos; a few earlier images have caption sheets on versos. Sized from 6 x 10" to 8 x11", all are at least VG (mostly due to editing marks) with many NM/MT.
