Read the documents assigned to you. For your assigned document, complete the following three tasks:
1. Summarize the document.
Cuban exiles are trying to assassinate Fidel Castro any way that they possibly can. It's intense. They said "The plan was to kill him any way we could - explosives on the road, grenades in a meeting, shots on the street. We would have strangled him if we had to."
Article mainly addresses the different assassination plots on Castro organized by a man named Pasado. Apparently, he's organized a ton of different attempts but is always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
2. Explain what issues in the Special Period this document deals with.
It provided issues to Castro, obviously. Because, I mean, this guy is trying to kill him. It addresses the extreme dislike of the country's leader (at least by some people) and frequently accentuates the CIA involvement on many of his planned attacks.
3. Answer: In what way(s) does this document help us better understand Cuba during this time period?
It gives us (the reader) a better understanding of the US's involvement in cuba at the time. It makes the reader realize how many times Fidel Castro has almost died -- all of them from attempted assassinations. Interestingly, Fidel didn't/doesn't seem too worried about it. I would be, that's for sure.
