Also included is a history of U.S. aggression in Latin America and a list of the CIA’s assassination targets. Illustrated with revolutionary posters of the 20th century.

It’s the adventure of making changes and changing ourselves which makes worthwhile this flicker in the history of the universe that we are, this fleeting warmth between two glaciers.–Eduardo Galeano

As long as someone controls your history, the truth shall remain just a mystery.–Ben Harper
