About this Item

This listing includes two separate stapled booklets. The full title of the first is long: Appearance of Major Fidel Castro Ruz, Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Government and First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, Analyzing Events in Czechoslovakia, Friday, August 23, 1968, Year of the Heroic Guerrilla. That's a mouthful. The second full title you can see in the photo: Cuba's Revolution: I Saw the People's Victory. This book was written by Joseph North. North worked as a correspondent for The Daily Worker, the Communist newspaper, and its successor, The Daily World, for 45 years. He covered the civil war in Spain in the late 1930's with the Loyalist army and the United States Army's liberation of German concentration camps in the waning days of World War II. While assigned by The Worker in Cuba in 1961 he accompanied the forces of Prime Minister Castro when they repelled the Bay of Pigs invasion. On assignment in Hanoi in 1972 he filed dispatches on the United States's Christmas bombing of the North Vietnamese capital. On the front cover of Cuba's Revolution the previous owner penned the following words: 'This was written the same month as the Revolution probably the first account in the USA.' There is no other writing in this booklet. It runs 23 pages. The binding is a stapled one. It is very solid. All of the pages are nicely tight as are the covers. The booklet is in excellent condition. The pages are very clean. I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing. There are no markings and there are no attachments. The binding of Appearance Of Major Fidel Castro is also a stapled one. It too is very solid with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The front cover has what appears to be a few jags of pen or pencil lines near the bottom. The pages are very clean. There are 35 numbered pages followed by an unnumbered photograph. The top corners of the pages have a light crease, the kind created by a light bump, not a sharp placeholding crease. The pages are clean. The previous owner did place red pen lines next to paragraphs of interest, also underlined a dozen phrases or sentences.
