A virtuous remnant of this organized publisher/distributor of anarchist literture in the name of Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán (1932-1959). Born in Havana, Cienfuegos was raised in an anarchist family that had left Spain before the Spanish Civil War. Along with Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Juan Almeida Bosque, and Raúl Castro, he was a member of the 1956 Granma expedition, which launched Fidel Castro's armed insurgency against the government of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. He became known as the "Hero of Yaguajay" after winning a key battle of the Cuban Revolution. Review of this publishing enterprise from Fifth Estate # 311, Winter, 1983: "In the last issue of the Ffith Estate we reported that Cienfuegos in the United Kingdom had closed up shop. What we failed to mention was that the U.S. branch, Cienfuegos/Soil of Liberty, is still going strong publishing their own books and distributing Cienfuegos books. This group has two new publications, the latest Anarchist Review, and a book entitled With the Peasants of Aragon, by Augustin Souchy. Both are available from Cienfuegos Distribution, 3512 12th Avenue S., Minneapolis Minnesota 55407
