Reviews
"A raw, uncut journey into the wilds of Venezuela...offers a rare commentary on a country most readers know little about....A complex portrait of Venezuela's people, poverty and promise." - Kirkus Reviews
"An offbeat, tantalizing look behind the scenes of Venezuela.?" -Oliver Stone
"Jamie Maslin has put together an exciting mix of progressive politics and adventurous travelogue. Making his way through Venezuela, Maslin visits slums and country clubs, rainforests and Caribbean beaches, while coping with anti-Chavistas and the country's ubiquitous criminals, and learning why Hugo Chavez has so many loyal followers. A welcome antidote to the common mainstream media distortions peddled against Venezuela." -William Blum, author of Rogue State and Killing Hope
