Venezuelan President Hugh Chavez inspires hatred and devotion in
equal measure in his country. Historically one of South America's
more stable democracies, since 2000 Venezuela has become
increasingly polarised politically, as the divide among the pro-
and anti-Chavistas has grown ever wider. Chavez has survived a coup
attempt and repeated calls to stand down from office, while he has
played a high-stakes game of geopolitical risk, aligning himself
with US enemies Fidel Castro and Libya's Colonel Gadaffy, even
while the US eyes Venezuela's considerable reserves of oil. But,
while he might be a compelling emblem of modern Venezuela, Hugo
Chavez isn't the whole story. In this book, "Irish Times" and
"Guardian" journalist Michael McCaughan investigates not only the
rise of the charismatic former army office, but also the deep
division in Venezuela, and examines the conundrum of Chavez'
Venezuela and its place within the hemispheric interests of George
Bush's Imperium.
