Description: This print shows the destruction of civilian dwellings by Batista's air force bombing campaign in the weeks leading up to the final collapse and partial surrender of the dictator's high command. Frames 11-12 show a Catholic priest, probably a Franciscan, speaking with members of the rebel forces in an area that appears to be an abandoned bunker. In many cases, Batista's troops gave themselves up to the conquering rebels through Catholic clerics who served as intermediaries. See also Print 12.
