Title: 30% of the time, its comprehensive all the time
Review: This is an incomplete read of how government can skew advancement, noting involvement by foreign nations, while wholly silent on how much more drastically Latin American governments themselves have hurt their own populations. My familiarity with the hardships suffered by the Mexican population led to my reading this book several years ago. Chavez's recent endorsement of this book lends credence to my first impressions. [...] Unfortunately, this book endorses a view friendly to the dictatorial history and rulers of Latin America (the only reason why Chavez hasn't censored its publication) that will garner political sympathy of the status quo from uncritical readers.
