Robert "Bob" Lee Baldock (also known as Robert Baldock; born April 30, 1937 in Dayton, Ohio) was one of the few U.S.
citizens to participate in the Cuban Revolution as a combatant in Fidel Castro's unit based in the Sierra Maestra in 1958.
He went on to have a substantial career as a bookman.
For twenty years he worked at Moe's Books in Berkeley, California, following which he initiated and cofounded the successful Black Oak Books, a store distinguished by its influential series of author readings.
After being forced out of Black Oak Books, he went to work for KPFA Radio, the first listener-sponsored FM radio in the U.S.
For over twenty years he produced public events for KPFA.
As a poster artist he created original posters for these events, a number of which are in the collection of Oakland Museum of California.
He is also a painter and maker of fine art prints and broadsides.
