Synopsis

Traditionally, observers would characterize the Cold War-era anti-communist dictatorships as tools of capitalists and landowners who maintained heavy influence over the political leadership. In the book When Right Really Means Left, author Nevin Gussack dispels this popular notion. He documents how the "rightwing" anti-communist dictatorships espoused their own version of nationalist collectivism, heavily intervened in their domestic economies, and even carried out double dealings with communist powers. Readers will learn:>The close relations between Franco's Spain and communist Cuba.>Soviet, Libyan, and Cuban assistance to Argentina during the 1982 Falklands War.>How the early Afrikaner Nationalists considered themselves virulently opposed to capitalism.>How Pinochet of Chile sold weapons to Sandinista Nicaragua.And much more....
