Agustin Alles Soberón, the first journalist to interview Fidel Castro and his guerrillas in Cuba’s Sierra Maestra Mountains in 1958 and later a senior editor with Radio/TV Marti for 20 years, died Sunday in Miami at the age of 87.
Alles retired from the U.S. government’s Marti stations in late 2011 and was just two chapters short of completing a book about his life when he died from heart failure, said his son-in-law, Javier Yanez.
He was best known for his trek up Cuba’s highest mountains, with photographer Eduardo Hernández, to interview Castro and other guerrillas such as Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, in March of 1958.
