Opis

The Chavez that emerges from Jones' account is neither a saint nor a revolutionary tyrant, but a master politician and an inspired improviser, a Bolivarian nationalist and an unashamed socialist. Jones tells the story of Chavez's impoverished childhood, military career, clandestine political activity, and his presidency."

Recenzje

Chávez's rise has a made-for-Hollywood quality ... Jones provides a superb description of the economic inequities that helped create the conditions for a populist such as Chávez to come to power ... Where [he] truly excels is in his observations of Venezuelan society and the outsized role oil has played in molding the national character Washington Post
