The leading account of the democratically elected president of Venezuela, and the US-assisted attempt to depose him
Richard Gott is a former Latin America correspondent and features editor for the Guardian. A specialist in Latin American affairs, his books include Cuba: A New History, Guerrilla Movements in Latin America, The Appeasers (with Martin Gilbert), Land Without Evil, Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution, and Britain's Empire. He is currently an honorary research fellow at the institute for the study of the Americas at the University of London.
Gott is always an interesting, well-informed, and engaging
writer.
*Foreign Affairs*
Gott is, if nothing else, a true believer of the revolutionary
process in Latin America and brings his own sense of moral
indignation every time he mentions the United States. It is worth
reading a text that is so ideological yet effectively explains how
many people in the upper ranks of the Chávez government perceive
the world around them.
*Center for Strategic and International Studies*
A colourful and readable account of Chávez's background and
beliefs.
