On Sep 18 2007, JimL777 said:
I'm two-thirds through reading this compelling account of Armando Valladares courage in resisting Communism and the Castro regime. If his account is accurate, and I suspect it is, I don't understand how Castro can be treated with anywhere near the respect that he currently receives from the American (and Western) media. He is a Latin Stalin, not an elected President, and the so-called mainstream media in the U.S. has ignored the horrible crimes he and his henchman have committed. Shame on them! If the book is accurate, Valladares and thousands of other Cubans were guilty of the one crime that a Communist dictatorship cannot abide - - the desire to think as an individual. Where are the PBS documentaries about Castro's crimes? Where is the outrage?
Read the book. It will open your eyes.

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
