The Rise of Authoritarianism
Due to factors such as income inequality and multiculturalism, liberal democracies have weakened considerably in the last quarter century. Democratic ideals have retreated in Venezuela, the Philippines, Hungary, Russia, and Poland. Many worry that they're on the decline in such bastions of democracy as western Europe and the United States, where fear and distrust of the status quo has opened the door to authoritarian leaders. Is there any hope of getting back to the prosperity and freedom of the mid-twentieth century? The viewpoints in this enlightening resource tackle this complex topic from a broad range of perspectives.
Cuba 1964
This book provides the definitive answer to the question of whether Castro was a Communist before he made the revolution or not. In a series of conversations held in 1964 with all the members of the Cuban govenrnment who had participated in the overthrow of Batista in 1959, each one told in his own words why he had participated in the revolution. It is also a chronicle of the salient events that took place in revolutionary Cuba during that year, including the trial of a traitor, disagreements among ministers over art and economic policies, US overflights and provocations at the U.S. base in Guantanamo. The book is illustrated with dozens of black and white photographs from the author's 1964 archive, now at Duke University, and several photos from a return voyage in 2011.
