Targeted by the CIA
Targeted by the CIA is a personal account by S. Peter Karlow of how he was falsely accused, by counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton, of being a mole for Moscow. The book describes in thrilling detail how he suddenly found himself challenged to refute something that never existed. How the case was resolved has all the makings of an intelligence classic.

Race to Revolution
The histories of Cuba and the United States are tightly intertwined and have been for at least two centuries. In Race to Revolution, historian Gerald Horne examines a critical relationship between the two countries by tracing out the typically overlooked interconnections among slavery, Jim Crow, and revolution. Slavery was central to the economic and political trajectories of Cuba and the United States, both in terms of each nation’s internal political and economic development and in the interactions between the small Caribbean island and the Colossus of the North.
