Most books about the assassination of President Kennedy written by "serious" authors and published by "prestigious" publishing houses fully agree with the Warren Commission's conclusions that Lee Harvey Oswald was a mentally disturbed individual who acted alone and there was no conspiracy surrounding him. Nonetheless, the few who blame the CIA, usually lefties and "progressives," never mention the key role played by important Council on Foreign Relations' members both in the assassination and the cover-up. They also purposely ignore Castro's role in the event, despite the fact that he was the only one among the suspects who publicly threatened the Kennedy brothers with assassination and had a long personal history of violence and a strong inclination to commit such a crime. 
Moreover, none of these books adds to the list of suspects the man who created the CFR, the CIA and Castro: David Rockefeller. As you will see in this book, however, everything indicates that David Rockefeller was the evil mind who manipulated behind the shadows the forces that participated in the JFK assassination and its cover-up.\nThere are some things about this book that sets it apart from the close to 2000 books written about the Kennedy assassination. In the first place, it doesn't point to abstract organizations such as "the Establishment," "the military-industrial-complex," "the deep state," or "the CIA," as perpetrators, but as specific individuals inside some of these organizations. 
Secondly, it brings abundant evidence showing that most of the people who participated in the cover-up which began just after the assassination and intensified after the Warren Commission's report, as well as in the post-cover-up, unleashed by Oliver Stone's film JFK, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. 
Thirdly, it proves that the Kennedy assassination in 1963 was a sort of remake of the assassination in 1948 of Colombian leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. The modus operandi was quite similar -both used Manchurian Candidates- and even some of the people who participated in the assassination of Gaitán also played key roles in the JFK assassination. 
Finally, without discarding some of the motives for the JFK assassination mentioned by other authors -Kennedy planned to end the Vietnam War, he threatened to disband the CIA, printed currency not backed by the Fed- he added a main one not mentioned by any author before: President Kennedy was secretly trying to reach an agreement with Soviet Premier Khrushchev to end the Cold War.

The Secret Fidel Castro: Deconstructing the Symbol is neither a history of the Cuban revolution nor a biography of Fidel Castro. The book follows what intelligence services call a CPP (short for Comprehensive Personality Profile), similar to the ones intelligence services keep on foreign leaders. It focuses on different aspects of Castro?s actions and personality which, for some reasons, have been either ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented. The main thesis of this book is that there are many different Castros. The most widely known is the symbolic, public one, as it has been portrayed in official Cuban propaganda, Castro-friendly biographies, and mainstream American media. But there are also many secret Castros, highly different from the public one. By ?deconstructing? different aspects of the life of the symbolic Fidel Castro the author tries to prove that all of them, the symbolic and the secret ones, are suspect and, therefore, all answers are partial. The Secret Fidel Castro, focuses on little known aspects of Castro?s personality, important in the better understanding of the man and his actions?what really makes him tick.

Women have always written love letters to real or imaginary recipients. Carlota Caulfield's At the Paper Gates with Burning Desire travels through visible and invisible cities to establish a dialogue with the fluid, suggestive body of letters by women, known and unknown, in love and rejected. The sequence of poems reveals a beautiful and thought-provoking dialogue of the written word through the ages and through memory, uniting in the passionate, intense voice of the writer. To read these love leters of other women is to create them anew in the voice of one's own being.

The Summer of the Sub-Comandante by Kathleene West moves the reader physically and emotionally from Viet Nam to Latin America to Northern Europe with an uneasy home base in the United States. West's characters are peripatetic, crossing and retreating from geographical and political borders as well as the borders of the heart. They may seem elusive, but they are sharply-drawn, appearing to be more comfortable skidding through the jungles of Viet Nam on a motorcycle or advancing into a Chiapas rain forest to find a revolutionary comandante than with social encounters in living rooms, restaurants and fenced yards. Watch them advance into the no-fly zones of relationships where love and war are equally devastating. Through her characters' observations and perceptions West establishes a wry, often-comic, ironic tone that sharply captures the fin de siècle dance of destruction and regeneration. As her characters fall-or jump-into situations ranging from the embarrassing to the perilous, West searches for truth in our confusing world. The Summer of the Sub-Comandante ultimately values truth more than comfort. Kathleene West's enactment of the most difficult, even dangerous, situations shimmer with her poetic language and inimitable humor.

The Book of Giulio Camillo is a sequence of poems dedicated to the art of memory. The poems are an homage to Giulio Camillo Delminio (1480-1544), one of the most famous unknown men of the Italian Renaissance. He invented a "theater of memory," consisting of a model amphiteater into which a single spectator would insert his head and gaze not toward the stage, but toward the amphitheater's seven rows of seats. It included all branches of knowledge and a method to memorize them. Caulfield's sevenfold sections of seven tercets enact, rather than describe, Camillo's theatre. In limpid and piercing verses, Caulfield moves her narrating voice -- detached in the manner of Beckett or Borges -- from an initial state of receptivity to a point of plenitude.  The book is in three languages, English (translated by Mary G. Berg in collaboration with the author); Spanish; and Italian (translated by Pietro Civitareale).

Carlota Caulfield's Ticket to Ride of is a collection of poems, essays and interviews. It is an autobiographical evocation of the author's family history, and a beautiful homage to her mother. Written over a period of years-from 1995 to 2005-these pieces make up a life as it is being lived and imagined. In them we find the poet's playful irony. Caulfield, like her beloved painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, loves intellectual puzzles.
