Before becoming a revolutionary, he was a Doctor Who worked with lepers (and insisted on eating the same food and not wearing protective gloves out of respect for them and because he knew he could not contract leprosy from touch). He joined Castro's revolution to put an end to the brutal Batiste regime and worked tirelessly to bring education to everyone in Cuba and free healthcare. He was a highly educated man who believed in teaching literacy. He worked in the field alongside sugar cane cutters and fought to have their land liberated so people who worked the land had ownership of the land. He was at war; he was not a terrorist. He never ordered torture of prisoners of war and insisted they be treated with respect.
