Laddar... Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrantav Humberto Fontova
   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  inmalitia | Oct 24, 2021 |   Humberto Fontova wrote another fast moving, riveting and informative book. Being familiar with his expose on Che, Castro's henchman who was dispatched (in two sense of the word) like so many Communist bureau men throughout history, I had no doubts this book would be short of accurate. One concern I had was he would rely too much space on the man, most commonly known best as Che, he would eventually sketch. While one chapter does recount Che's escapades in Africa and South America, it nicely shows the sway Fidel commanded over those endeared to him. Numerous hypocricies are easily illustrated throughout the book. Most effective is the anti capital punishment elites who spent countless energies blasting South African apartheid, yet turned a blind eye to Castro's regime all the while feting him and visiting his country. Never seeming to realize they were partaking in a facade to obfuscate the totalitarian control over the populace. Fontova notes several times the country is segregated and 80% of the prison's political occupants are Black (African Cuban, I guess); many of these island revelers were once vociferous about boycotting Sun City in South Africa. A gripping, fast-paced read which quickly but fully covers Fidel Castro's "presidential" leadership.

"Cuba's own Elvis"--that's what Dan Rather calls him. Funny name for a man who has threatened the United States with nuclear war, who has made common cause with Islamic terrorists against the United States, and whose people risk death to escape him. But there's a lot that Hollywood liberals and other Fidel Castro admirers would rather you didn't know about the dictator of Cuba--like how he imprisoned more people as a percentage of population than Hitler or Stalin; how Fidel's firing squads killed thousands of Cubans; how Fidel's subjects would rather inject themselves with AIDS than live under his tyranny. Drawing on a wealth of research--including interviews with former Castro regime officials, anti-Castro freedom fighters, and Castro's political prisoners--acclaimed author Humberto Fontova reveals the ugly face of the Castro regime. Along the way, he punctures some of the egregious myths about Cuba: · The Motorcycle Bore: The real Che Guevara--not the rebel rock star of T-shirt fame, but a battlefield incompetent, a puritan-Stalinist bore, and the man who sent thousands of innocent Cubans to the firing squads · Communist Economics 101: How Castro took Cuba from being a First World economy that had to turn away European emigrants to a country that even impoverished Haitians won't emigrate to, with among the highest suicide and abortion rates in the world · The Saddam Hussein Next Door: How Castro has not only had nuclear weapons (and wanted to launch them) but has plotted massive terrorist outrages against the United States · Fidel the anti-black racist and unrepentant Communist--and his long list of useful idiots: from Jesse Jackson to Oliver Stone, George McGovern to Ted Turner, Bill Clinton to Steven Spielberg, to Katie Couric and many others · The Left's favorite racism: against conservative Cuban-Americans Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant is a stunning exposé of the real Fidel Castro and of the hypocrisy, ignorance, and inexcusable appeasement that makes his liberal admirers notorious.

¿Cómo es posible que cientos de madres desesperadas prefieran meterse con sus hijos a bordo de una balsa en un mar infestado de tiburones a permanecer en «el paraíso castrista»?
Y cómo es posible que, al mismo tiempo, determinadas celebridades afirmen:
• «El socialismo funciona. Creo que Cuba podría demostrarlo» (Chevy Chase).
• Castro es «muy moral y desinteresado […] uno de los hombres más sabios del mundo» (Oliver Stone).
• «Fidel, te quiero. Los dos tenemos las mismas iniciales. Los dos tenemos barba. Ambos tenemos poder y queremos usarlo con buenos propósitos» (Francis Ford Coppola).
• «El régimen de Castro ha sido un ejemplo que constituye una enseñanza para todos» (Kofi Annan).
Humberto Fontova nos descubre y recuerda verdades sobre la Cuba de Castro demasiado incómodas para ciertas «élites intelectuales»: los atentados terroristas frustrados en Nueva York en 1962, la connivencia de la CIA con la toma del poder por Castro, la verdad sobre Bahía de Cochinos, la represión de la revuelta campesina de Sierra Escambray contra el régimen comunista, la masacre del remolcador 13 de Marzo, hundido por la armada castrista, o la verdadera personalidad e historia del Che Guevara.
