Title: A complete waste of money
Product review: Mr. Gott is shameless in his defense of an undemocratic, narcissistic, mildly insane autocrat. This book is mistaken in many levels. It is baffling that a president who was elected on a progressive agenda gets favourable press from leftists when all he is doing is increasing poverty and widening the gap between the haves and have-nots. Mr. Gott also gets it wrong when he frames much of the issue in racial terms. Venezuelan society is not defined by race, although it might be a factor. If the Venezuelan middle class is racist, why did they massively vote for Chavez in the first place? Go elsewhere for a fair depiction of Venezuelan politics.
