          (Pureplay ships its titles postage-free and tax-free to all retail   
   customers in the United States.)   
      
      
              
          In 1957, a special correspondent for a leading U.S. newspaper filed a   
   striking series of reports from Cuba, praising a guerrilla leader who was   
   trying to overthrow a corrupt regime. That guerrilla leader, Fidel Castro, is   
   presently in his forty-   
   sixth year of power.   
      
         Pureplay Press was established in 2001 by David Landau, author of the   
   classic work Kissinger: The Uses of Power. Our purpose is to help rescue   
   Cuba's history and culture from the turbulence of the past half-century. From   
   Los Angeles, we publish    
   histories, novels, poetry, essays and illustrated books-in English, Spanish   
   and bilingual editions-by Cubans and others who share a loving respect for   
   that country and its people.   
      
         On January 18, 2004 the Patronato José Martí of California, a leading   
   Cuban civic association, honored Pureplay Press and Landau with its   
   prestigious White Rose Award, calling Pureplay "a necessary editorial space   
   within English-language publishing.   
   " A week later, in naming Landau "Person of the Day," the Spanish-language   
   newspaper El Nuevo Herald of Miami said Landau "exemplifies the kind of man   
   who is able to feel other people's suffering as his own."
