Late Harvest


Book Description

Exploring themes of love, death, war, suffering, and spiritual insight, this collection features carefully crafted poetry and humorous light verse, spanning decades of the authors personal experience, while also touching on something of the universal human condition. Threnody This story must end as a threnody For poets know that lovers disappear, (Crying out: Liebende, seid ihrs dann noch?) Leaving only ashes and faded petals In the rose garden with leaf-clogged fountains, Where no birds sing, cold breezes blow at nightfall, And the maze echoes with lost childrens voices, As the ruined house settles into silence Among the yew trees shading tumbled graves, Where crumbling names sink into mossy stone And time takes back what it so briefly dealt.




Castro's Secrets


Book Description

“A conclusive, ground-breaking portrait, based on firsthand sources, of how the Cuban strongman . . . ran circles around the CIA.” —Daily Beast In Castro’s Secrets, intelligence analyst and Cuba expert Brian Latell offers an unprecedented view of Fidel Castro in his role as Cuba’s supreme spymaster. Based on interviews with high level defectors from Cuba’s intelligence and security services—including some who have never spoken on record before—Latell reveals long-buried secrets of Fidel’s nearly 50-year reign. While the CIA grossly underestimated his capabilities, Castro built one of the best and most aggressive intelligence systems in the world. Their sophisticated network ran moles and double agents who penetrated the highest levels of American Institutions. They also carried out numerous assassinations—some against foreign leaders. Latell also sheds new light on the CIA’s deplorable plots against Cuba—including previously obscure schemes to assassinate Castro—and presents shocking new conclusions about what Fidel actually knew of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
