225 pages. "When the war in Europe ended, millions of Russian men, women and children sought sanctuary and freedom in the west. They met terror face-to-face. They were physically beaten into submission, and then shipped like cattle back to the U.S.S.R. to face Stalin's executioners or to serve long sentences in concentration camps... The author claims that this brutal appeasement... was initiated and carried out by the Allied Supreme Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower. From Survivors the author obtained the details of the Cossacks' fight for freedom from 1941 to 1945, and from them he learned the method used by the British to betray them." - from inside front cover.

The iconography of the medium and large format sculptures by Marín b. Chile 1929 are based on ancient civilizations of Tibet India and the Pre-Columbian. His paintings use mixted media that inlcude adobe dust from bricks marble and graphite and express anthropological themes. Catálogo de bolsillo y de excelente factura realizado con motivo de la exposición de la obra del artista en el Museo de Bellas Artes en julio de 2008. La publicación en formato de bolsillo y de bella factura incluye fotografías de algunas obras de Hugo Marín por Mario Vivado y un encendido prólogo de Alejandro Jodorowsky viejo amigo del artista. Sobresale la agudeza y estilo del ensayo de Carrasco que ahonda primero en la obra y luego en la biografía de Hugo Marín presentándonos el trabajo más completo hasta ahora sobre el artista haciendo una notable introducción al rico mundo que nos fascina y nos inquieta de esas esculturas de cuero o barro de sus "cabezas" de esa ancestralidad siempre nueva y transfigurada. Para Hugo Marín el arte es un medio de autoconocimiento que posibilita la creación y el poder organizador de la naturaleza. Tanto en la pintura como en la escultura se expresa a través de imágenes relacionadas a elementos míticos y ancestrales que se conservan en todas las culturas a través de la memoria colectiva. Mezcla lo primitivo y ritual de culturas ya extinguidas. Recurre tanto a mitos y símbolos de antiguas religiones como la tibetana o el Tantra de la India como a la iconografía de los pueblos precolombinos y el arte rupestre. Para sus pinturas utiliza la técnica mixta en la que incluye adobe y paja el polvo de ladrillo mármol y grafito. Son obras en las que ejecución y temática reflejan claramente su interés por los temas antropológicos. Ocho Libros unknown books
