Venezuelan Revolution English 2016

This book by Alan Woods is essential reading for all those who want to understand what is happening in Venezuela today. But this is no more desctription of events. It is a powerful Marxist analysis of the Venezuelan Revolution, its weaknesses and strengths, its contradictions and unique characterstics. The book was not written with hindsight. Every chapter, beginning with the coup of April 2002, was written as the events themselves were unfolding, and traces the winding course of the revolution. They reflect the immediacy and lightening speed of events happening before our very eyes. Today Latin America is in the vanguard of world revolutionary developments, and within the Latin American continent, Venezuelastands out sharply as the country most affected by this process. It would be no exaggeration to say that Venezuela is new the key to the international situation. It therefore follows that the class-conscious workers and youth in Britain and elsewhere must closely follow the events in Venezuela and assist the revolution with every means possible.
