add to cart   close window

The Cuban American National Foundation (C.A. N.F.) has its extraordinary success in persuading U.S. Congress to underwrite a host of Fide Castro bashing activities is due in no small part to the lobby's lavish funding of the political campaigns of anti-Castro candidates, to slick propaganda and to a willingness to brand its opponents as Communist sympathizers. The central figure in this hustle is Jorge M&aauml;s Canosa, founder and chair of the C.A.N.F. A wealthy Miami businessman and virulent anti-Castro activist with close connections to the Reagan Administration, who use that power to overthrow the regime of Fidel Castro and become president of Cuba himself.
