The authoritative first-hand account of contemporary Venezuela, Hugo Chavez places the country's controversial and charismatic president in historical perspective, and examines his plans and programs. Now in office for over a decade, President Chavez has undertaken the most wide-ranging transformation of oil-rich Venezuela for half a century, and dramatically affected the political debate throughout Latin America. In this updated edition, Richard Gott reflects on the achievements of the Bolivarian revolution, and the challenges that lie ahead. The author is a British journalist and historian, who has written extensively on Latin America. A former Latin America correspondent and features editor for the British newspaper The Guardian, he is currently an honorary research fellow at the Institute for the Study of the Americas at the University of London.
