An extensive biography on Fidel Castro and an interesting movie. 

Anthony DePalma is a noted journalist for the New York Times, having spent time reporting from various countries in Latin America. This article is a compilation of New York Times coverage of Cuba, Fidel Castro, and US-Cuba Relations. On the right side of the page, there are links to other related sources. The page is easy to read and has a wide range of information. The New York Times is generally a very accurate newspaper, and the article was edited in July of 2010, which is definitely recent enough to have current information on what is covered in the article. This is a good background article, but there are other sources available for more specific aspects.

Brief history of Fidel Castro and his views on the US. Roots of Anti-Americanism and ideals behind policies are explained. While the source was written in 2004, it is about history, and therefore the passing of time does not make it innacurate, although new facts could have been uncovered. The author is not stated either, which does not seem accurate, but the sponsor site is PBS, a reputable site.
