Cold War Puerto Rico is the hitherto untold story of how the tools of McCarthyism were used to repress anti-colonial resistance in a colony the US has ruled for 128 years.
From Monday (Nov 2), the publisher is offering a 40% seasonal discount, taking the US price down from $34.95 to $20.97.
To claim the discount, use the code HOLIDAY here: umasspress.com/9781625349484/…
This may not be so attractive for people outside the US and Puerto Rico because of mailing costs. But the book is still available at £20 including postage via my website: steve-howell.com/cold-war-puert…
For more on how Cold War Puerto Rico lifts the lid on a crucial period in the colony's history and covers ground ignored by other books on McCarthyism, see: therestisbullshit.substack.com/p/the-colony-w…
On either side of the book cover below are, left, César Andreu Iglesias after one of four arrests in the early 1950s and, right, Jane Speed de Andreu and Consuelo Burgos de Sáez Corales - two of the 11 communist leaders indicted under the Smith Act - being marched handcuffed together through San Juan to the Federal Courthouse in 1954.
