Cons: History, but current too
The author and tbe book's editor, Mary Alice Waters, were students at Carlton College in Minnesota in the early 1960s. This book discusses how the Cuban
revolution, and building a student movement to fight for the truth about that revolution radicalized them and other students, and the lessons they learned building a movement to
defend Cuba during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. . . . Barnes extends the Cuba experience to lay out a program for working people in the 21 Century accurately evaluating Bush and
Gore as the same poison. He provides real a real program against both liberal and conservative probusiness politics. There are a lot of lessons here for the fight against the
imperialist-led permanent war drive.

Pros: First-Hand Accounts, Historical Perspective
Cons: none
Jack Barnes, the author of this boook, points out: "The greatest obstacle to the line of march of the toilers is the tendency, perpetuated by the exploiting classes, for working people to underestimate ourselves, to underestimate what we can accomplish, to doubt our own worth." This book proves that like the Cubans the working class in the United States has the capacity to win political power. Barnes explains how after a visit to Cuba in 1960 he and other student activists defended Cuba during the Bay of Pigs invasion. They stood up to both campus administrators and right-wing thugs and won the the right not only to speak out but to become the makers of history, like the Cubans. Barnes explains how the Cubans as a people demonstrated remarkable courage and determination in standing up to an imperialist terror campaign, arms in hand, while continueing their revolutionary work, which included a literacy campaign the likes of which has not been seen before or since. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BOLD SOCIAL VISION, I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOU! ...
