Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar af Simon Sebag Montefiore (chrisharpe)
chrisharpe: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.", as they say. The similarities between these totalitarian leaders are striking, even down to some mundane details.

The Nixon Administration and the Death of Allende's Chile: A Case of Assisted Suicide af Jonathan Haslam (Starom)
Starom: The Nixon Administration and the Death of Allende's Chile is the story of Salvador Allende - the Chilean socialist leader who rose to power democratically and was pulled from power as a result of a US/CIA backed military coup. Hugo!: The Hugo Chavez Story tells the life-story of Hugo Chavez - the Venezuelan socialist leader who also rose to power democratically and was also pulled from as the result of a US/CIA backed military coup. These books both portray the events with startling clarity - unbiased, highly informative and gripping from start to end. Each books tells a very similar story, but each ends very differently. These books go hand in hand - one to show the almighty Imperialist powers of the US in the so-called 'War Against Communism' and the other to show that US interests are certainly not the only ones that matter - the democratic voice of the people can never be truly silenced.… (mere)

Socialism isn't the success story which it is made out to be. This is Bart Jones' undoing in 'Hugo.' He constructs elaborate hypothetical would-ifs to cast Hugo Chavez's policies in a golden light and cement his image as the posterchild for Socialism. This was quite an intriguing book but it lacked even a modicum of impartiality. Jones is relying on nostalgia to push forward his thesis that Chavez was a hero. Otherwise, he has nothing of substance besides a chronology. (

Very readable, appears to be meticulously researched. Confirms me in my belief that Chavez is one of the best things to happen to Venezuela and the region.
