#1 New York Times Bestseller A personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world, written by one of the most admired public servants in American history, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of stateA Fascist, observed Madeleine Albright, “is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.” The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. Fascism: A Warning is drawn from Madeleine Albright's experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that assumption.Fascism, as she shows, not only endured through the twentieth century but now presents a more virulent threat to peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse. The United States, which historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates division and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological, and cultural factors are weakening the political center and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s.Fascism: A Warning is a book for our times that is relevant to all times. Written by someone who not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past.

“A modern classic of courage and excitement.” —The New Yorker • The source for the iconic prison-escape film starring Steve McQueenHenri Charrière, nicknamed "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil's Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped . . . until Papillon. His flight to freedom remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken.Charrière's astonishing autobiography, Papillon, was first published in France to instant acclaim in 1968, more than twenty years after his final escape. Since then, it has become a treasured classic--the gripping, shocking, ultimately uplifting odyssey of an innocent man who would not be defeated.“A first-class adventure story.” — New York Review of Books Read more

How did Latin America's exceptional democracy become a nearly failed state? Why would a leader firmly in control lead one of the planet's richest countries into a humanitarian crisis? Conventional wisdom blames the madness of a populist leader who squandered an oil fortune. In Venezuela's Collapse, Carlos Lizarralde offers an alternative account that places race, ethnicity, and the struggle over resources at the center of the Hugo Chavez story.The book chronicles 500 years of demographic and economic strands that came together in 1998 with the election of a dashing new President. By following Chavismo's dismantling of the liberal state, the ransacking of public enterprises, and the appearance of a feudal world of violence, hunger, and disease, Venezuela's Collapse offers a compelling argument about what happened in the country.Venezuela's uncertain future will be determined, for better or for worse, by the fractured and conflicted past that fueled the Bolivarian Revolution. Carlos Lizarralde's account will become a key road map in the years ahead. Read more

Resumen de la Historia de Venezuela(Caracas, 1810)deAndrés BelloAndrés de Jesús María y José Bello López(30 de noviembre de 1780 - 15 de octubre de 1865).Poeta, filólogo, educador y jurista venezolano - chileno. Read more

Among the top ten oil exporters in the world and a founding member of OPEC, Venezuela currently supplies 11 percent of U.S. crude oil imports. But when the country elected the fiery populist politician Hugo Chavez in 1998, tensions rose with this key trading partner and relations have been strained ever since. In this concise, accessible addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know® series, Miguel Tinker Salas -- a native of Venezuela who has written extensively about the country -- takes a broadly chronological approach that focuses especially on oil and its effects on Venezuela's politics, economy, culture, and international relations. After an introductory section that discusses the legacy of Spanish colonialism, Tinker Salas explores the "The Era of the Gusher," a period which began with the discovery of oil in the early twentieth century, encompassed the mid-century development and nationalization of the industry, and ended with a change of government in 1989 in response to widespread protests. The third section provides a detailed discussion of Hugo Chavez-his rise to power, his domestic political and economic policies, and his high-profile forays into international relations-as well as surveying the current landscape of Venezuela in the wake of Chavez's death in March 2013. Arranged in a question-and-answer format that allows readers to search topics of particular interest, the book covers questions such as, who is Simón Bolívar and why is he called the George Washington of Latin America? How did the discovery of oil change Venezuela's relationship to the U.S.? What forces where behind the coups of 1992? And how does Venezuela interact with China, Russia, and Iran? Informative, engaging, and written by a leading expert on the country, Venezuela: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers an authoritative guide to an increasingly important player on the world stage.What Everyone Needs to Know® is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.

"An impressively well-researched and readable portrait . . .  a useful reminder of what el Comandante did and didn't achieve, how he got away with it, and the danger of statesmen-as-showmen whose promises are too good to be true." —The New York Times Book Review"A deeply informative, sprightly chronicle of Venezuela's dizzying journey." —The Washington PostIn Comandante, acclaimed journalist Rory Carroll tells the inside story of Hugo Chávez’s life, investigates his time as Venezuela’s president, and assesses his legacy. Carroll examines the almost religious devotion of millions of Venezuelans who regarded Chávez as a savior, as well as the loathing of those who brand him a dictator. Based on interviews with ministers, aides, courtiers, and citizens, this intimate piece of reportage chronicles a unique experiment in power that veered from enlightenment to tyranny, from comedy to farce. In beautiful prose that blends the lyricism and strangeness of magical realism with the brutal, ugly truth of authoritarianism, Comandante offers a cautionary tale for our times. Read more

In 1935, after the death of dictator General Juan Vicente Gómez, Venezuela consolidated its position as the world's major oil exporter and began to establish what today is South America's longest-lasting democratic regime. Endowed with the power of state oil wealth, successive presidents appeared as transcendent figures who could magically transform Venezuela into a modern nation. During the 1974-78 oil boom, dazzling development projects promised finally to effect this transformation. Yet now the state must struggle to appease its foreign creditors, counter a declining economy, and contain a discontented citizenry. In critical dialogue with contemporary social theory, Fernando Coronil examines key transformations in Venezuela's polity, culture, and economy, recasting theories of development and highlighting the relevance of these processes for other postcolonial nations. The result is a timely and compelling historical ethnography of political power at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary reflections on modernity and the state. Read more

Corporate Coup looks at the attempted overthrow of the elected government of Venezuela, an intervention which, despite open backing by the United States, failed spectacularly.In January of 2019, the Trump Administration recognized a little-known opposition lawmaker named Juan Guaidó as President of Venezuela. While Washington’s history of coups in Latin America is well-documented, this step was unprecedented: Never before had the United States offered legal recognition to a new government before an actual change in leadership had taken place.Within months it became clear that the attempt at regime change had fallen flat: all Venezuelan territory, government ministries, and the country’s military remained under the control of President Nicolás Maduro. While US officials, notably Trump’s Venezuela Envoy Elliott Abrams, boasted that roughly 54 countries had followed Washington’s lead in recognizing Guaidó’s authority, the vast majority of United Nations member states rejected the attempted coup. Four years on, Venezuela’s government is firmly in place and Guaidó is nowhere to be seen.In this fast-paced story, investigative reporter Anya Parampil provides a narrative history of the Chavista revolution and offers character sketches of the figures who took over its leadership after Hugo Chávez’s death in 2014. She shows how Guaidó’s shadow regime consisted of individuals with deep connections to transnational corporations that sought to overturn the revolution and exploit Venezuela’s resources. In particular she uncovers their plot to steal Citgo Petroleum, the country’s most valuable international asset. Corporate Coup exposes the hidden personalities and interests driving US policy on Venezuela, revealing that while the recognition of Guaidó failed at changing reality on the ground in Caracas, it succeeded in facilitating the unprecedented looting of the country’s extensive foreign reserves.This gripping story from Venezuela shines light on the grim, shadowy character of a US foreign policy that tramples on democratic norms around the globe. And it points to a dramatic consequence of such policy: the rise of a new, multipolar world heralding the end of US empire. Read more

Winner of the 2022 Cornelius Ryan Award of the Overseas Press Club of America for the best nonfiction book on international affairs. Foreign Affairs Best Books of 2022National Endowment for Democracy Notable Books of 2022"Richly reported...a thorough and important history." -Tim Padgett, The New York Times A nuanced and deeply-reported account of the collapse of Venezuela, and what it could mean for the rest of the world.Today, Venezuela is a country of perpetual crisis―a country of rolling blackouts, nearly worthless currency, uncertain supply of water and food, and extreme poverty. In the same land where oil―the largest reserve in the world―sits so close to the surface that it bubbles from the ground, where gold and other mineral resources are abundant, and where the government spends billions of dollars on public works projects that go abandoned, the supermarket shelves are bare and the hospitals have no medicine. Twenty percent of the population has fled, creating the largest refugee exodus in the world, rivaling only war-torn Syria’s crisis. Venezuela’s collapse affects all of Latin America, as well as the United States and the international community.Republicans like to point to Venezuela as the perfect example of the emptiness of socialism, but it is a better model for something else: the destructive potential of charismatic populist leadership. The ascent of Hugo Chávez was a precursor to the emergence of strongmen that can now be seen all over the world, and the success of the corrupt economy he presided over only lasted while oil sold for more than $100 a barrel. Chávez’s regime and policies, which have been reinforced under Nicolás Maduro, squandered abundant resources and ultimately bankrupted the country.Things Are Never So Bad That They Can’t Get Worse is a fluid combination of journalism, memoir, and history that chronicles Venezuela’s tragic journey from petro-riches to poverty. Author William Neuman witnessed it all firsthand while living in Caracas and serving as the New York Times Andes Region Bureau Chief. His book paints a clear-eyed, riveting, and highly personal portrait of the crisis unfolding in real time, with all of its tropical surrealism, extremes of wealth and suffering, and gripping drama. It is also a heartfelt reflection of the country’s great beauty and vibrancy―and the energy, passion, and humor of its people, even under the most challenging circumstances. Read more

Sitios y Toma de Puerto Cabello vio luz por vez primera en 1974 convirtiéndose, desde entonces, en una obra de referencia para la cabal compresión de este importante acontecimiento, tanto por el aporte de documentos poco conocidos e inéditos que le sirvieron de fundamento, como la exégesis que de ellos se hacen. Su reedición, en el año bicentenario, era una necesidad para el público en general y justo homenaje al autor, quien ha publicado libros merecedores de varias ediciones, como las biografías Bartolomé Salom o la Virtud, Yo Antonio José de Sucre, y Manuel Piar.Asdrúbal González (1938-2023), abogado e historiador, nació en Puerto Cabello, donde fijó su definitiva residencia. Fue fundador e Individuo de Número de la Academia de Historia del Estado Carabobo y perteneció a varias instituciones científicas y culturales del continente americano, entre ellas, las Academias de la Historia de Venezuela y del Ecuador.

In cultural history, the 1950s in Venezuela are commonly celebrated as a golden age of modernity, realized by a booming oil economy, dazzling modernist architecture, and nationwide modernization projects. But this is only half the story. In this path-breaking study, Lisa Blackmore reframes the concept of modernity as a complex cultural formation in which modern aesthetics became deeply entangled with authoritarian politics. Drawing on extensive archival research and presenting a wealth of previously unpublished visual materials, Blackmore revisits the decade-long dictatorship to unearth the spectacles of progress that offset repression and censorship. Analyses of a wide range of case studies—from housing projects to agricultural colonies, urban monuments to official exhibitions, and carnival processions to consumer culture—reveal the manifold apparatuses that mythologized visionary leadership, advocated technocratic development, and presented military rule as the only route to progress. Offering a sharp corrective to depoliticized accounts of the period, Spectacular Modernity instead exposes how Venezuelans were promised a radically transformed landscape in exchange for their democratic freedoms.

El libro narra el trayecto de una familia sefardi desde su expulsión de España en 1492 hasta su llegada de Hamburgo a Venezuela en 1841. El camino de los sefarditas, especialmente difícil durante los primeros cien años, a través de toda Europa, todos los puertos del Mediterraneo y el Imperio Otomano dejó importantes contribuciones en cada una de las sociedades donde estuvieron. A partir de 1590 con la independencia de Holanda y su invitación a participar en su desarrollo, los sefardíes se integran como motor de ese país, así como de otras ciudades estado como Hamburgo, que también los recibe. Su contribución fue determinante en la creación de las sociedades mercantiles financiadas por acciones, las sociedades de mercado abierto, el desarrollo de la bolsa de valores y el crecimiento de la economía y mejores niveles de vida de toda su población.Luego narra las contribuciones al país a través de seis generaciones y una nueva migración, esta vez a Canadá y Estados Unidos, donde nace una nueva generación aun en su infancia.Las familias sefarditas venezolanas se integraron íntimamente a la sociedad venezolana y en su mayoría adoptaron la religión católica, sin embargo conservaron muchos de los aprendizajes de su camino, como lo son los valores, el respeto, el trabajo y la importancia de la educación para sus hijos.El descubrimiento de gran cantidad de apellidos caraqueños en el cementerio judio de Hamburgo nos sorprendió a todos , pero evidencio el camino de los sefarditas; después de haber transitado por Portugal, Turquía y muchos de los puertos del mediterraneo, la ruta de Amsterdam, Hamburgo y de ahí a Curazao, Venezuela, Colombia, Panamá, Jamaica y Estados Unidos.Venezuela siempre ha sido una tierra generosa y ha recibido a muchos inmigrantes que se han integrado a su sociedad y su economía; por eso algunos la llaman la Tierra Prometida pero todos sabemos que es una Tierra de Gracia.

'An ambitious, riveting and essential book that has much to teach us about the recent history of this region, and about the human impulse towards populism that continues to shape the world' Ben Rhodes, bestselling author of The World As It Is'A REVOLUTION IS A STRUGGLE TO THE DEATH BETWEEN THE FUTURE AND THE PAST.' FIDEL CASTROFor more than six decades, Fidel Castro's words have echoed through the politics of Latin America. His towering political influence still looms over the region today.The swing to the Left in Latin America, known as the 'Pink Tide', was the most important political movement in the Western Hemisphere in the 21st century. It involved some of the biggest, most colourful and most controversial characters in Latin America for decades, leaders who would leave an indelible mark on their nations and who were adored and reviled in equal measure.Parties became secondary to individual leaders and populism reigned from Venezuela to Brazil, from Central America to the Caribbean, financed by a spike in commodity prices and the oil-backed largesse of Venezuela's charismatic socialist president, Hugo Chávez.Yet within a decade and a half, it was all over. Today, this wave of populism has left the Americas in the hands of some of the most authoritarian and dangerous leaders since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Read more

Before there was Sim-n Bol'var, there was Francisco de Miranda. He was among the most infamous men of his generation, loved or hated by all who knew him. Though his roots are deeply entrenched in Latin America, he was a true world citizen-residing for extended periods in the United States and in Europe. His home was the nexus at which the Old and New Worlds met in the Age of Revolution. Venezuelan General Francisco Gabriel de Miranda (1750-1816) participated in the major political events of the Atlantic World for more than three decades. Before his tragic last days he would be Spanish soldier, friend of U.S. presidents, paramour of Catherine the Great, French Revolutionary General in the Belgian campaigns, perennial thorn in the side of British Prime Minister William Pitt, and fomenter of revolution in Spanish America. He used his personal relationships with leaders on both sides of the Atlantic to advance his dream of a liberated Spanish America. Eventually, the glory days would reach a screeching halt when a fellow revolutionary would turn him over to the opposition, and he would spend the rest of his natural life in a cramped, dank cell at the prison of La Carraca in COdiz. Francisco de Miranda: A Transatlantic Life in the Age of Revolution is an insightful life-and-times account of Miranda, emphasizing the personal, human, social, and cultural context, and revealing the interconnectedness of the Atlantic World. Author Karen Racine brings the man into focus in a careful, thorough analysis, demonstrating the effect of his political and social savvy on both sides of the Atlantic, and showing how his savvy, firm political beliefs and courageous actions saved him from being the simple scoundrel that his dalliances suggested. Shedding light on one of history's most charismatic and cosmopolitan world citizens, Francisco de Miranda will appeal to all those interested in biography and Latin American history. Read more

Territorio de permanente controversia, para la izquierda Venezuela es un punto ciego, mientras que para la derecha es la suma de todos los males. Este libro constituye un aporte clave y decisivo para entender qué pasó realmente en los últimos tiempos para que deviniera, de gran esperanza regional, en un país en descomposición.De todos los gobiernos de izquierda que pasaron por América Latina en los últimos años, el de Venezuela es el que intentó llevar adelante el cambio más radical… y también el que fracasó más radicalmente. Este libro cuenta el proceso de declive de la Revolución Bolivariana desde diferentes ángulos: una crisis económica inédita en la historia del capitalismo, que redujo el PBI a un cuarto de lo que era y expulsó a siete millones de personas; una catástrofe social que convirtió al país del Socialismo del siglo XXI en uno de los más desiguales de la región, y un giro autoritario que hizo que Venezuela se transformara en un régimen que no es una democracia, pero tampoco una dictadura plena: una criatura política única.Mezcla de ensayo, relato de viaje y crónica periodística, este libro analiza las múltiples crisis de un país que pasó de ser un faro ideológico para la izquierda al “patito feo” de América Latina. José Natanson viajó a Venezuela, subió a los cerros más pobres y visitó negocios de lujo, conversó con la gente en la calle, entrevistó a políticos y analistas. Sin prejuicios pero sin miedo a la polémica, responde algunas preguntas cruciales como: ¿Quién es el responsable de la crisis? ¿Cuánto influyó el acoso de Estados Unidos? ¿Qué peso de la culpa tiene la oposición? ¿Chávez y Maduro son lo mismo? Y, en definitiva: ¿Qué pasó con Venezuela?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA territory in constant controversy. To the left-wing, Venezuela is a blind spot, while for the right it is the sum of all evil. This book constitutes a key and decisive contribution to understand what really happened in recent years to make this country go from a regional hope to a decomposing nation. Of all the left-wing governments that passed through Latin America in the past few years, the Venezuelan government is the one who tried to carry out the most radical change... and also the one who failed more radically. This book recounts the process of decline of the Bolivarian Revolution from different perspectives; an unprecedented financial crisis in the history of capitalism that reduced the BIP to a quarter of what it was and drove out seven million people; a social catastrophe that turned a twenty-first century Socialist country into one of the most inequitable nations in the region, and an authoritarian twist that turned Venezuela into a regime that is not a democracy, but also not a full dictatorship: a unique political creature. Blending essay, travel story, and chronicle, this book analyzes the multiple crises in a country that was once an ideological beacon to left-wing governments and became Latin America’s “ugly duckling.” José Natanson traveled to Venezuela, climbed the poorest mountains, and visited luxurious businesses, talked to people on the street, and interviewed politicians and analysts. Unprejudiced, but unafraid of controversy, he answers a few crucial questions, such as: Who is responsible for this crisis? How much of it was influenced by the United States’ harassment? How is the opposition to blame? Chavez and Maduro are the same? And ultimately: What happened to Venezuela? Read more
