En las montañas de la Sierra Maestra, durante el verano de 1958, una fuerza de apenas trescientos rebeldes resistió y derrotó a diez mil soldados enviados por la dictadura de Batista para extinguir la revolución cubana. Durante setenta días, la voluntad humana y el conocimiento del terreno se impusieron sobre la superioridad numérica y el armamento extranjero. La victoria no fue solo militar: fue el momento en que la historia comenzó a inclinarse de manera irreversible hacia el cambio.
