Books on Fidel Castro

When asked to name the world’s great evil dictators, few would ever include Fidel Castro on that list. And yet, he’s as deserving as they come.

Through his rise to power and desire to hold onto it, not only did he murder thousands of his own people and imprison far more, but he ruined the lives of almost everyone in Cuba, for generations, as a result of his Communist agenda.

Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant

Dan Rather called him “Cubas own Elvis,” and a long list of American politicians and celebrities have fallen for this mad man’s charms.

From Jesse Jackson to Katie Couric, from Bill Clinton to Steven Spielberg, there’s a long list of useful idiots who parrot the factually wrong notions that Castro was a freedom fighter and a hero to his people.

In fact, Castro imprisoned more people as a percentage of his population than did Hitler or Stalin. His firing squads murdered thousands of Cubans. And his jails were overflowing with political prisoners who dared to speak out.

And how can one ignore the waves of immigrants fleeing Cuba for America, risking their lives to escape a once bustling economy.

Plus, don’t forget that he once tried to launch nuclear misses at America.

Heavily researched with first-hand accounts from Castro’s political prisoners, escapees and even former regime officials, Humberto Fontova reveals all about the tyranny of Castro and the brutal life he created inside Cuba. It also gives a more personal look at this dictator, from his hypocrisy to his racism.

This important work cuts through the lies our media has created about Fidel Castro and details the horrors they have negligently fail to report.

The Longest Romance: The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro

Why isn’t the name Fidel Castro one that is immediately reviled?

The answer, argues Humberto Fontova, is that America’s corporate media intentionally and deceptively painted a picture of this murderous tyrant as a defender of his people. In part they were duped by Castro’s own propaganda machine. In part, they willingly went along with falsified storied and failed to investigate atrocities due to long-held sympathies for socialism and Communism.

“Propaganda is vital—the heart of our struggle,” wrote Fidel Castro in 1955. This book details just how important it was and the players in the American media who went along with it.

Castro killed thousands of his own people, imprisoned far more, and brought the world to the bring of nuclear holocaust. And yet, he’s often (and incorrectly) remembered as a hero to his people, bringing socialized medicine to all and lifting people out of poverty.

Not only are none of the lies about him true, but he was at his core a racist, sexist and terrorist.

Breaking down the propaganda and seeing Castro for who he really is, Fontova exposes all.

This is Cuba: An American Journalist Under Castro’s Shadow

In a Cuba where Castro is dead and an America where Donald Trump is president, photojournalist David Ariosto gets a two year assignment to visit the island nation.

What he discovers is a changing country, but one perhaps permanently stained by the crimes of Fidel Castro.

An American Son

This is not a book about Castro. This memoir of United Sates Senator Marco Rubio does give some insight into his upbringing as the child of Cuban immigrants who fled Castro’s tyranny for the freedom of America.
