Latin America is a mystery, shrouded behind myths and niceties. However, the politically incorrect truth about the region is becoming more prescient as the diaspora balloons, especially in Anglo-America. If you want to get past polite-society conversations and marketing narratives to understand the reality on the ground, this is the book for you. The Latin America Red Pill is part investigative journalism, part economic analysis, and part autobiography.

Maurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He’s a loner, awkward and obsessive; she’s charismatic and ambitious. But they share a horror of wasting their lives. And they dream – as we all dream – of running away from it all. What if they quit their jobs, sold their house, bought a boat, and sailed away? Most of us begin and end with the daydream. But Maurice began to study nautical navigation. Maralyn made detailed lists of provisions. And in June 1972, they set sail. For nearly a year all went well, until deep in the Pacific, a breaching whale knocked a hole in their boat and it sank.

Это история русского мальчика Алёши, которого в детстве все звали просто Лёнькой. Он своими глазами видел, как фашисты расправлялись с его односельчанами, едва не потерял мать и пытался бороться, уйдя в стихийно созданный партизанский отряд. Но в то ужасное лето 1941 года было сложно противостоять страшной «коричневой чуме» — вместе с матерью Лёньку насильственно отправили в германский трудовой лагерь, где на долю малолетнего паренька выпали не только невыносимые условия содержания и работы, но и самые настоящие пытки.
