Bill Blum and chapter titles . . .

[DamonMac at aol.com]

The book is well cited, although in the introduction he seems like a sad
apologist for the horrors of "socialism/communism" as it existed in the REAL
world---which is a disease that infects much of the left---but that's just
typical: like those who can't admit Castro is a dictator (ie, Amy Goodman,
etc.).  That's kind of annoying.  Even though his analysis of political
realities are poor, it is a good reference and worth owning.  The titles of
the chapters are great as well.  Just a few: Chap 27 -- "Brazil 1961-1964:
Introducing the marvelous new world of death squads" or Chap 34 -- "Chile
1964-1973: A hammer and sickle stamped on your child's forehead" or Chap 35
"Greece 1964-1974: 'Fuck your Parliament and your Constitution,' said the
President of the United States".  A good read overall.
