Reviews

The terrorist war against Cuba, based in the U.S., has been continuing since 1959. Though there is substantial documentation from U.S. sources, the facts have scarcely reached the public. Fabian Escalante is in a unique position to add significant insight and information about this crucial chapter of modern history. His review of CIA covert operations against Cuba in the early years is greatly to be welcomed, and should be widely read - and pondered. - Noam Chomsky
