A pesar de que la Universidad de La Habana se convirtió en centro de la mayoría de las actividades opositoras a la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista instaurada el 10 de marzo de 1952, Fidel Castro prefirió organizar el núcleo de jóvenes con el que atacó los Cuarteles Moncada y Carlos Manuel de Céspedes el 26 de julio de 1953 fuera de los círculos universitarios, y se dirigió fundamentalmente a las bases ortodoxas. El artículo se adentra en las razones que explican este hecho, en especial las complicadas relaciones entre Fidel y determinados sectores de poder de la Universidad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
