I am surprised as to how they make Machado look. H was a dictator, usurper of power, and reponsible for many assasinations.
My outlook comes from the stories of my father, who battled against him and his tyranny.
Democarcay was not an issue, he was a lacky of the USA goverment, having sold out Cuba.

History does recognize this, and a few old relics, who revel in some old perverted and twisted history of Cuba, still right these outrageous positive comments about him.
