Book II Print 7: Rebel positions on perimeter of Sierra strongholdYale University. Department of Manuscripts and ArchivesundatedengspaA series of short takes showing rebel positions on perimeter of Sierra stronghold: this one at Maffo, under Capt. Henrique Boronat* (on the bottom rows of frames, Capt. Boronat is always the young officer in broadbrimmed hat on extreme right, with armband and shoulder patch: he is also shown on frames 27-31 supervising coffee processing in a local cafetal.) Frames 25-26 show another significant perimeter activity: this is the "defection team" of Cdte. Faul Chibas (right, beard, hat, eyeglasses) and Cdte. Jose Quevedo (center). Cdte. Quevedo was a high-ranking Batista Army officer captured by the rebel forces during the big government push in June 1958; Quevedo (who was trapped together with most of his troop, the 17th Bataillon) subsequently joined the guerrilla forces and went on special assignment with Raul Chibas. Their mission was to contact military commanders commanding government troops at army outposts facing the rebel perimeter, and attempt to talk them into defecting to the Castro forces. Note man on left in these two frames (civilian with sombrero, pistol) is typical local go-between utilized in these clandestine feelers towards wavering government officers. Frames 32-36 show funeral of local townsman caught in crossfire between rebel and government patrols. Note on last frame (36) bearded Negro officer in center is "Pombo" who accompanied Che to Bolivia in 1967 and became one of half-dozen guerrilla leaders in that expedition to escape alive and somehow return to Cuba via Chile. *Not to be confused with Victor Boronat shown in Book 1.
