Paperback. Condition: Good. There are many desecrations of human rights taking place in our world. Many involve conflicts of great complexity, religious or factional: it is immensely difficult to create just solutions to them. Guantanamo is the outstanding exception. 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? President Obama has proposed to close the prison for those captured in the war against terrorism, but Fidel Castro argues in this extended essay, The Empire and the Independent Island, written in 2007, that the illegal occupation must end and the territory be returned to Cuba.This book also features a comprehensive chronology of the base's history and extensive appendices, including some key historical documents through which Washington has justified its continued occupation and recently declassified documents from the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. It also includes a foreword by Noam Chomsky, Nadine Gordimer, Salim Lamrani, Rigoberta Menchu, and Adolfo Perez Esquivel. …

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 Both historical document and impassioned treatise, Guerrilla Warfare was intended as a guide to realizing change when political opposition and legal civil struggle against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.…
