The just solution is simple . . . the US must leave Guantanamo unconditionally.--From the foreword by Noam Chomsky, Nadine Gordimer, Rigoberta Menchu, and othersImagine if after we defeated the British in our revolution, we then let them keep a few thousand troops and a bunch of battleships in New York Harbor. Weird --Michael MooreTo keep a military base against the will of our people is a violation of the most elemental principles of international law.--Fidel CastroHow is it that Guantanamo Bay, seized after the Spanish-American War over one hundred years ago, is still held by the United States as a naval base?

Paperback. Condition: Good. An intimate encounter between the charismatic Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Che Guevara's daughter Aleida Is Venezuela the new Cuba? Elected by an overwhelming popular mandate in 1998, which has been reaffirmed in elections several times since, Hugo Chavez is one of Latin America's most outspoken political leaders today. In this extraordinary encounter, Chavez is interviewed by Aleida Guevara, the daughter of the legendary revolutionary Che Guevara. He expresses a fiercely nationalist vision for Venezuela and a commitment to a united Latin America. He also discusses the significance of the military coup against his government in April 2002, Venezuela's new democratic constitution, the extensive social programs undertaken as part of the Bolivarian revolution and assesses his country's relations with the United States and Cuba. In what became a remarkably intimate dialogue over several days, Chavez is probed about his personal political formation and his views about the legacy of Che Guevara's ideas and example in Latin America today. Included as an appendix is an exclusive interview with Venezuela's former minister of defense Jorge Garcia Carneiro, who played a key role in defeating the 2002 coup against Chavez. There is a different Venezuela where the wretched of the earth know that they can free themselves from their past. And this is a different Latin America. -- Hugo Chavez Aleida Guevara is the eldest daughter of Ernesto Che Guevara and Aleida March. She works as a pediatrician in Havana, Cuba, and is a prominent figure in the anti-globalization movement. THIS INTERVIEW IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON DVD.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Written immediately after the Cuban Revolution and first published in 1961, Guerrilla Warfare soon became a how-to manual for legions of guerrilla fighters around the world-from Latin America to Africa and Asia. In this revolutionary primer, Che focuses on the general principles of guerrilla warfare, the guerrilla -band,- the organization of the guerrilla front, and strategies for preserving and defending power once it has been won. The book covers broad topics-guerrilla strategy and tactics; propaganda, training, and indoctrination; and the role of women-and more specific issues like medical problems, supplies, and -sabotage.- Che's epilogue, written a year after -the culmination of the long armed civil struggle by the Cuban people,- includes his analysis of the Cuban situation at the time and predictions for the country's future. Both historical document and impassioned treatise, Guerrilla Warfare was intended as a guide to realizing change when political opposition and legal civil struggle against totalitarianism are inadequate. In that sense, it provides a timeless window into revolutionary thinking today.…
