1. The Power Elite
"The Power Elite" is a sociological study that explores the relationships and interconnections among the political, military, and economic elite in the United States, suggesting that they form a distinct, centralized ruling power structure. The author argues that this group operates outside of the democratic process and has significant influence over the nation's policies and decisions. The book also discusses the implications of this power concentration on American democracy and society.

2. Listen, Yankee
"Listen, Yankee" offers a compelling insight into the Cuban Revolution through a series of imagined conversations between a Cuban revolutionary and an American. The book, written during the height of Cold War tensions, seeks to explain and justify the motivations behind the revolution and Cuba's subsequent policies. It challenges American perceptions of Cuba and communism, providing a perspective that emphasizes social justice and reform. The work serves as both a critique of U.S. foreign policy and a call for understanding and solidarity between the American and Cuban people.
