Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant

by Humberto Fontova

Hollywood and the liberal elite fawn over him. Journalists have been suckers for him for decades (Dan Rather called him "Cuba's own Elvis!"). He has outsmarted and outmaneuvered American intelligence too many times to count. And today, despite the hero-worship he receives from the American Left, he remains a bloodthirsty dictator and a significant threat to American security. In Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant, Humberto Fontova tells the story of Fidel Castro as it has never been told before -- and as you'll never hear it from Castro fans like Rather, Jesse Jackson, George McGovern, Steven Spielberg, Ted Turner, and so many other dupes and fellow travelers.

Fontova introduces you to the REAL Castro -- and his huge prison camp called Cuba:

• How Cuba went from the being the nation with the highest per-capita immigration rate in the Western Hemisphere (yes, higher than the United States, including the Ellis Island years) to one where 20 per cent of the population fled

• Shocking but true: Cubans who deliberately injected themselves with AIDS in order to escape the mania and cruelty of daily life in Cuba

• Castro's undeniable record of brutal racial discrimination -- and the American black writer who still blithely insists that "there is a direct correlation between the U.S. civil rights movement and Fidel Castro's socialist revolution"

• How Castro mourned on 9/11 -- not for the American victims, but because Islamic terrorists had succeeded in doing what he had tried to do for so many years

• The black political prisoner who has languished longer in Castro's dungeons than Nelson Mandela served in South Africa's

• How American rock stars agitated for Castro -- no doubt without knowing or caring that owning a Beatles or Rolling Stones record in Cuba was a criminal offense that could dump you in a concentration camp

• The Cuban intelligence defector who reported: "I took part in a meeting where Fidel Castro himself ordered the creation of companies to be involved in drug dealing and smuggling"

• How Elian Gonzalez's father had actually applied for a U.S. visa, and intended to come here to join his son -- until Castro stirred up an international incident, abetted by a cover-up in the American media

• How Cuba jams our satellite broadcasts into Iran using technology acquired from China -- which acquired it from the Clinton administration

• The appalling reasons why, despite $110 billion of Soviet aid, Cuba today is one of the poorest nations on the planet

• How the New York Times ignored mountains of evidence in 1959 when it portrayed Castro as "a humanist, a man of many ideals, including those of liberty, democracy, and social justice"

• The untold story of the Cuban Missile Crisis -- and why Castro was a greater threat to the U.S. than Khruschev

• Che Guevara: the massacres this hero of American liberals perpetrated in order to cow and terrorize the Cuban people against resistance to the revolution -- and his cowardly, sniveling death

• How Castro shouted: "Let the Yankees invade! I'll produce 200,000 dead gringos!" and called America "a vulture preying on humanity!" -- and promptly received $200 million in U.S. foreign aid

• The CIA's expert on Latin American Communism in 1959: "Castro is not only not a communist, he's a strong anti-communist fighter. And we're prepared to share our intelligence with him to help us in our fight"

• The retired Cuban diplomat who warned the United States in 1958: "If Castro takes over there will be a bloodbath. You people haven't thought this thing out. When Castro takes over the Communists will run Cuba. I guarantee it"

• Why one CIA official bitterly remarked, "We put Castro in power"

• Batista's Cuba: although still reviled by American media dupes today, much more prosperous and free than Castro's Cuba

• The Brazilian President who noted America's treatment by Castro and sneered: "Those Americans are just like women. They have a masochistic streak; the more you slap them around, the more you get out of them"

• Extracts from Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries not quoted in Robert Redford's acclaimed film -- such as "Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands!"

• Why Jimmy Carter's assertion that the sanctions against Cuba are the most stupid law the U.S. has ever passed is simply idiotic (and damaging to Cuba's suffering populace)
