Writing books
The last sentence in the opening section of this guy's page says that he wrote 6 books. This doesn't really fit with the rest of the section and isn't much of an achievement anyway, so is it alright to remove it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Owen214 (talk • contribs) 09:12, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Wrong place of death
Batista died in Guadalmina a place in the city of Marbella in Spain. In the article it says 'Guadalamina' instead of 'Guadalmina' which is the correct way to write it. I'm 100% sure because I live in Guadalmina in the city of Marbella and it is well known that the correct way of writing it is 'Guadalmina' and not 'Guadalamina'.

FYI, the link to Carlos Manuel de Céspedes points to an article about the father of the person that this article refers to.
Portrayals in popular culture

Anti-Revolution Disinformation
He died of a heart attack on August 6, 1973 at Guadalmina, near Marbella, Spain,[29] two days before a team of assassins from Castro's Cuba could carry out a plan to kill him.[9]
...right. Someone's fibbing here. This claim doesn't even make sense.

Communist infiltration?
This support was mainly due to Batista's labor laws and his support for labor unions, unions which the communist movement had infiltrated.
Infiltrated? Communist members in labor unions have been around since the 1920s (IWW). They did not "infiltrate" the unions. They were already union members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.61.23 (talk) 13:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
1946 Mob Summit
The paragraph about the 1946 Mob Summit seems out of place: according to the rest of the article, Batista wasn't in power and wasn't even in the country when it happened. Any objections to axing it (or moving it to a more germane article)? Francis Lima (talk) 23:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
