Hugo Chávez Talks to Marta Harnecker, Translated by Chesa Boudin
Marta Harnecker's important book helps clarify the challenges facing Venezuela's ongoing revolutionary process. The decisive role played by Hugo Chávez in initiating that revolutionary process and the immense support he continues to receive from the popular classes makes this book necessary reading for understanding the forces at work in what may well become a stage in the long-run transformation of the global system. —Samir Amin, author of The Liberal Virus: Permanent War and the Americanization of the World
The calumny heaped upon Venezuela's courageous president by U.S. officialdom and major media has misled a lot of people, including many who claim to be on the left. This well-crafted, well-edited, and engaging book is a bracing antidote and a pleasure to read. Here you will discover the real Hugo Chávez: a highly educated, brilliant, democratic revolutionary leader, and a man of deep and thoroughly admirable humanity.—MICHAEL PARENTI, author of Superpatriotism
