Title: not quite what I expected
Product review: I should get my money back just by the shear number of typos I've found in this book. Putting that aside, Mr. Niemeyer, as much as the mayority of journalists of our time, does not put aside his own political views and try to give us, the public, an objective analysis of what happened in Venezuela during those days of upheaval in April 2002. I've been trying to find a book in English that did just that but I'm afraid this journalist as much as the journalists of the Venezuelan opposition do not present an objective and thorough investigation of what happened. His statements lack factual support. There is no mention of any police investigation of the massacre just a simple sentence stating that Chavistas on the bridge could not have shot at civilians. I'm afraid Niemeyer needs to do more research and put his opinion or agenda on the side. I will try "Venezuelan Politics in the Chavez Era" by Ellner & Hellinger to see if I have better luck.
