McCaughan, Michael The Battle of Venezuela
Seven Stories Press June 7, 2005 1-58322-680-X / 9781583226803 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Not since Fidel Castro has a Latin American leader provoked as much angst a nd attention in the U.S. as Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Journalist Mc Caughan draws on firsthand accounts and interviews with Chavez and governme nt officials to analyze the social and political forces that have placed Ch avez in office as well as the implications for Venezuela, South America, th e U.S., and global politics. Chavez, a master strategist, has survived six referenda, two elections, and one failed coup--and relentless criticism fro m the U.S. McCaughan examines how Chavez rose from the military to national political office and the social and political dynamics that fortify his po pularity. The Chavez presidency is part of the long history of struggle for social justice in oil-rich Venezuela, including the influences of Simon Bo livar, the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara, and Communist--inspired ideals of land reform. Readers interested in Latin American politics, issues of land reform, and globalization trends will appreciate this look at a fascinatin g world figure.
