It's World Of Books for all you UK based bears - second hand books for pretty cheap. Buy 3 get one free - not outrageous I know but I like an excuse to get some books.

Anyway, I'm looking for some good leftist non-fiction book recommendations, and I trust you lot the most. Ye've never let me down on books so far.

Bonus points if they're specifically focused on C.I.A/imperialist interventions or South America. I've already decided I'm going to buy Washington Bullets by Vijay Prashad (unless one of y'all convinces me otherwise).

Cheers
