With the help of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, Castro began to win support from peasants as they traveled from town to town. Hidden in the rugged mountains of the Sierra Maestra from 1956 to 1959, the rebels inflicted heavy damage on the greatly numbered Cuban army. Batista’s armies were unable to cope with the style and fighting conditions of guerilla warfare. Hidden in the mountains during the rebel campaign, Che Guevara would transmit radio messages, Radio Rebelde, the Cuban people helping raise support and awareness of the rebels.
