Assassination on Embassy Row by
John Dinges(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1980 and 2014 in English and held by 1,025 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The gripping account of an assassination on US soil and the violent foreign conspiracy that stretched from Pinochet's Chile to the streets of Washington, DC, with a new introduction by Ariel Dorfman On September 10, 1976, exiled Chilean leader Orlando Letelier delivered a blistering rebuke of Augusto Pinochet's brutal right-wing regime in a speech at Madison Square Garden. Eleven days later, while Letelier was on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, a bomb affixed to the bottom of his car exploded, killing him and his coworker Ronni Moffitt. The slaying, staggering in its own right, exposed an international conspiracy that reached well into US territory. Pinochet had targeted Letelier, a former Chilean foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, and carried out the attack with the help of Operation Condor, the secret alliance of South America's military dictatorships dedicated to wiping out their most influential opponents. This gripping account tells the story not only of a political plot that ended in murder, but also of the FBI's inquiry into the affair. Definitive in its examination both of Letelier's murder and of the subsequent investigations carried out by American intelligence, Assassination on Embassy Row is equal parts keen analysis and true-life spy thriller

Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up?(

)
5 editions published between 2010 and 2018 in English and held by 361 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Award-winning director Saul Landau embarks on an in-depth exploration of Miami-Havana politics through the story of the Cuban 5 -- a group of spies sent by the Castro government to infiltrate right-wing terrorist organizations in Miami. WILL THE REAL TERRORIST PLEASE STAND UP? chronicles half a century of hostile US-Cuba relations, decades of assassinations and sabotage, at first backed up then ignored by the very government that launched a "war against terrorism." In the film, viewers see leading terrorists, now in their 80s, recounting their deeds, and Cuban state security officials explaining why they infiltrated agents into violent Miami exile groups. Featuring Danny Glover and 84-year-old Fidel Castro in key scenes, the film raises and tries to answer the question: what did Cuba do to deserve such hostile treatment? It traces key events from the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis, through multiple assassination attempts on Fidel Castro's life. This documentary reveals a story of violence that also echoed on the streets of Washington DC, New York, and especially Miami where Cuban American critics of the bombers and shooters also wound up dead

FIDEL provides a unique view of Cuba's controversial and most polarizing leader. In 1968, Castro took filmmaker and activist Saul Landau on a week-long jeep ride through the eastern mountains. There, he plays baseball with a group of peasants, visits his pre-school and trades jokes with a 98-year old man. Fidel also listens to the people's concerns about food distribution, bad roads, and transportation. Landau captures Cuba's revolutionary chief early in the morning in his tent. The camera zooms in on his dirty and delicate fingernails holding his trademark cigar while he tells a story of Símon Bolivar and offers tactical advice to guerrilla warriors throughout the Third World. The film contains rare and fascinating archive footage of the Bay of Pigs invasion and scenes of Che Guevara alongside interviews with political prisoners. Spectacular photography and editing with hot Cuban music provide the cinematic aesthetics that give this film beautiful form to accompany its exciting content

5 editions published between 2000 and 2006 in Spanish and held by 128 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
An examination of how Mexico and Mexicans are being impacted by capitalist interests and industrialization after NAFTA. Focuses on the maquiladoras, U.S.-owned factories employing inexpensive Mexican labor.

The film also examines the environmental disasters generated by these factories and the unsafe living conditions of the workers, which have resulted in a series of rapes and murders of young women employees. Examines the violent rural confrontations between the Mexican Army and Mayan peasant farmers as part of the government's efforts to suppress the rebellion. The video features interviews with workers, factory managers, government officials, army officers, indigenous peasants, and economists
