Product Description

Product Description

Osama bin Laden got credit for the terrorist outrage of September 11, 2001, but as author and journalist Humberto Fontova reveals in his landmark new book Fidel, Fidel Castro - Hollywood's favorite tyrant - had planned a similar terrorist attack forty years earlier, with a plot to explode 500 kilos of TNT at Grand Central Station, the Statue of Liberty, and four Manhattan subway stations. Fidel gives a litany of such shocking facts about Fidel Castro - the facts you won't hear from the fawning liberal media that covers up for Castro and that praises Castro's Cuba for its fine cigars, beautiful beaches, and free health care, while overlooking its tyranny, support for terrorism, and impoverishment of its people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent When He Focuses On The Facts., 13 Dec 2007
By Ross "fountain.blogspot.com" (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
It may seem like a misguided criticism given the title of the book, but the focus of dim Hollywood types who prostitute themselves to Castro gets rather tedious after. From the time of Leni Riefenstal dictators have found a steady supply of useful idiots from the film world to suck up to them so learning that Danny Glover or Oliver Stone aren't very bright isn't that interesting. The more highbrow apologists like the New York Times and Stephen Ambrose are more noteworthy but even so knowing that people in free countries get off on tyranny elsewhere is sadly not news.

What Fontova is much better at is remorselessly hammering home the facts and dealing with the bogus excuses offered by Castro apologists. The chapter on Castro before Cuba is a revelation, Cuba was essentially a developed country with a long democratic history and the best health and literacy results in the Americas. Batista was a thug but there was a vibrant democratic which was likely to unseat him in short order had it not been for Castro's coup. To turn that country into one of the poorest in the world where people escape in droves is in a perverse sort of way an astonishing accomplishment.

Sometimes the author does let his justified distaste for the Castro regime colour his prose on occasion but that is a minor fault in a book that is a long overdue corrective to the far left propaganda.
