BIOGRAFIAS

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

Hijo de actores, nació en Hollywood y, na-turalmente, creció en medio de actores. En 1932, interpretó el papel del pequeño príncipe en Sueño de una noche de verano, de Max Reinhardt. A los diecisiete años, empezó a escribir, producir y dirigir sus propias películas, clásicas ya en la historia del cine underground, entre las que destacan Scorpio’s Rising y Fireworks, habi-tuales en filmotecas y salas especiales del mundo entero. Durante su aventurera vida, Anger nunca ha dejado de recoger minu-ciosamente cuanto material gráfico y escrito ha encontrado sobre la glamorosa galería de personajes que pueblan, en su caso, su vida cotidiana, y en el nuestro, nuestras fantasías. Su rebeldía, indepen-dencia y sentido crítico le llevaron a en-frentarse con el Imperio de la puritana industria cinematográfica y a descubrir ante el público en este libro los trapos su-cios de ese mundo intocable y, de tan le-jano, perfecto... Hollywood Babilonia II abunda en la misma galería de espejismos y sueños rotos que Anger había descrito tan genialmente en su anterior obra: Hollywood Babilonia I.

FOUR ALTARS TO THE VIRGIN

The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror. He murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six. Alone among world leaders, Castro came to within inches of igniting a global nuclear holocaust.

But you would never guess any of that from reading the mainstream American media. Instead we hear fawning accounts of Castro liberating Cuba from the clutches of U.S. robber-barons and bestowing world-class healthcare and education on his downtrodden citizens. "Propaganda is vital--the heart of our struggle," Castro wrote in 1955. Today, the concept is as valid to the Cuban regime as ever.

History records few propaganda campaigns as phenomenally successful or enduring as Castro and Che's. The Longest Romance exposes the full scope of this deception; it documents the complicity of major U.S. media players in spreading Castro's propaganda and in coloring the world's view of his totalitarian regime. Castro's cachet as a celebrity icon of anti-Americanism has always overshadowed his record as a warmonger, racist, sexist, Stalinist, and godfather of modern terrorism. The Longest Romance uncovers this shameful history and names its major accomplices.
