‘Homeland or death’: How Cuba would defend itself against a US attack

Cuba released a guide for protection against military aggression, outlining family responsibilities in the event of a US attack. This guide builds on Cuba's defense doctrine, the War of All People, which mobilizes the civilian population to resist foreign invasion. Tensions escalated following the indictment of former Cuban President Raul Castro by US federal prosecutors related to a 1996 incident where Cuban jets allegedly shot down exile-operated aircraft.
