Los Angeles' Curious Role in the Chinese Revolution "The oddest among the group was a sickly, 88-pound hunchback Angeleno who had bad eyesight, an obsession with military glory and more than a touch of genius." I can't describe this one. More interesting than anything Hollywood ever dreams up, that's for sure.

Great story. Reminds me somehow of the whole Bay of Pigs exile-training scheme.

Several of the various Cuban revolutions were planned in the US. We have a long, long relationship.
