Ernesto "Che" Guevara

Ocean Press, 2002

A Revolutionary's View In Favor of Socialism
Humanistic Socialism. When you read this book, you can really see the flexibility, a far cry and major difference from the scientific Hegelian materialism of Marx, the dogmatism of Luxemburg and the authoritarianism of Lenin. The difference is a socialism, which emphasizes the need to listen to and work with the people in a democratic means, rejecting the exploitation found in authoritarian and ...

Ernesto Che Guevara

Ocean Press, 2007

One of the great works of socialism, hope for our future!
This pamphlet ranks with the communist manifesto, with State and the Revolution, with Trotsky's great writings against stalin, as one of the texts the encapsulates why and how we fight for a world of working people in power, why revolutionists like Che gave their lives for the cause of socialism, why humanity has a future out of the muck and mire and filth, why we fight. Che admits revolutionists ...

Salvador Allende Reader : Chile's Voice of Democracy

Salvador Allende, Jane Carolina Canning, ...

Ocean Press, 2000

The World Misses El Compañero
This is a very telling, informative and stimulating collection about not only the life of El Compañero Presidente, but Chilean history in general, especially during the years 1970-1973. One comes to understand Allende not as a Napolean of an Orwellian novel but as the embodiment of democracy, human rights and compassion. You will read about and come to understand how Allende came to power (the ...

A must read for those interested in Che
Filled with excerpts from Che's own Congo diary and replete with insights into the failures of the Cuban backed People's Liberation Army. A haunting look at some of the same failures that would befall Che and lead to his capture and execution in Bolivia. A great read!

After Moruroa: France in the South Pacific

3 reviews
Nic McLellan, Jean Chesneaux

Ocean Press, 1998

Excellent analysis of the French Pacific.
This is an excellent and readable summary of the French presence in the South Pacific, stretching from the days of Bougainville and the "discovery", to present day - and into the future. The situation in French Polynesia and New Caledonia is made understandable, whereas the somewhat forgotten islands of Wallis and Futuna are more briefly treated. This book allows the reader to understand what ...

JFK: The Cuba Files: The Untold Story of the Plot to Kill Kennedy (Secret War)

3 reviews
Fabin Escalante

Ocean Press, 2006

Best book ever on the case...for the informed reader
It has been said once that the truth about JFK's assassination would never be known "in our lifetime". This short volume contradicts this statement and proves that it is still possible, provided there is a will to do so, to bring the case to justice. For a number of years now, most serious scholars and searchers (meaning those who have no specific agenda to market, and who try to analyze the ...

ZR Rifle : The Plot to Kill Kennedy and Castro

Claudia Furiati

Ocean Press (AU), 1994

JFK: Evidence from Below
"ZR Rifle" appeared at about the time when Fonzi's "Last Investigation," Scott's "Deep Politics," and Prouty's "JFK" showed up in the bookstores. Since Ms. Furiati has been characterized as "sympathetic" to Castro's revolution, I approached it with caution, only because I needed to know if the book itself could be discredited as another strand of misinformation in an entire web of ...

Ignacio Ramonet

Ocean Press, 2004

A sweeping and important work.
Ramonet's work here is very broad in scope. In one relatively short work, he is able to bring together a vast and sweeping set of information and analysis on current environmental, political, economic and cultural trends in order to piece together their interlockings and formulate a cohesive picture of the state of the world. His information and reasoning are solid, while his analysis is ...

Che desde la Memoria: El que fui (Che Guevara Publishing Project / Ocean Sur)

Ernesto Che Guevara

Ocean Press, 2004

Un gran libro
Para cualquiera que este interesado en la vida del Che Guevara, este es un gran libro que en sus propias palabras e imagenes muestran su realidad, su ideologia y su ser. Las fotos son muy buenas, tienen esa nota de melancolia, de nostalgia, de ganas de luchar por algo. Creo que es un libro que pasa lo policitica y cae en lo personal, en la figura de el en todos sus aspectos. Un libro muy ...

Changing the History of Africa

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Ocean Press, 1990

Good book for perspective, some flaws in the facts
This book contains a selection of essays from various role-players in the Angolan/South African conflict, including the famous essay by Nobel Prize-winner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Operation Carlota", and a few of "Fidel Castro's" speeches. While a lot of this is propaganda, it at least gives an impression of the war from the Cuban and Angolan perspective. This book needs to be read in ...

Pablo Neruda, Oswaldo Guayasamn

Ocean Press, 2006

sisters, brothers, aunts, fathers, mothers and cousins in blood
Battered and broken, the bodies, the beings in Oswaldo Guayasamin's paintings don't rest on walls or canvas. They cry and scream out to you in shrieking voices that only physical torture can bring about. Or they weep quietly on the bloody ground. Too exhaused to cry out. They disappear inside themselves in the sorts of emotional trauma that all too many have known, and all too many others have ...

Now with a new introduction revealing how Fidel & Revolution helped open the way ...

CIA Targets Fidel: The Secret Assassination Report

1 review
Fabin Escalante

Ocean Press, 2002

A Tale of Idiocy
Poisoned diving suits, syringes made to look like pens, exploding seashells and cigars--these are but a few of the 612 known plots against Castro between the years of 1959-1993. Apologists for the CIA and the terrorists among the Cuban exile community cannot dismiss this book as Cuban disinformation because the records provided here are CIA declassified files. This book is the smoking gun. ...

Fidel My Early Years

Fidel Castro

Ocean Press, 2004

A great text
This book consists of one lengthy speech that El Commandante favored students with at his alma matter, the University of Havanna law school in 1995, and a few long interviews, including his famous 1985 interview with the Brazilian priest, Frei Betto. Gabriel Garcia Marquez has a very good introductory essay, with some personal reflection on his buddy Fidel. If you are a good right thinking ...
