Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant is a non-fiction book written by Cuban American historian Humberto Fontova.
The book criticizes American celebrities, particularly Hollywood actors, who support Fidel Castro's government in Cuba and often travel to meet with Castro personally. Among those singled out are Jack Nicholson, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, Chevy Chase, Steven Spielberg, Ted Turner, and Dan Rather. Fontova interviews dissidents as well as former government agents, such as Delfin Fernandez, who recounts how he was ordered to bug these same celebrities' rooms with secret microphones and video cameras so that they could be monitored.
