The Threat Closer to Home
Hugo Chávez and the War Against America
"For anyone concerned with what's going wrong in Latin America and how the U.S. can help set it right, this book is a must read."
-- Ambassador Diego Arria, Venezuela's ambassador to the United Nations before Chávez

This book argues that we should.
