Camilo Cienfuegos

Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán (Spanish: [kaˈmilo sjeɱˈfweɣoz ɣorjaˈɾan]; February 6, 1932 – October 28, 1959) was a Cuban revolutionary. Along with Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, Che Guevara and Juan Almeida Bosque, he was a member of the 26th of July Movement, which overthrew Cuba's fascist Statesian-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Cienfuegos became one of Castro's top guerrilla commanders during the Cuban Revolution, and later served as head of the Cuban Armed Forces under Fidel Castro's socialist government.
