Fun to read. Makes you feel you are with author trailing around with Morales. Shows changes that can be made with different leadership. Has depth and is written in a lively style. Highly recommended.

this is THE book to read to understand what's going on in south america right now.

This author of this book makes no effort to be objective in his "reporting" but rather just parrots Morales' and MAS' party line. In the book, the author makes all sorts of assertations and claims with no indication of the author's source for those claims. The author's sycophanting relationship with Morales unfortunately stopped him from investigating Morales' past and views with more insight. However, the book, if taken as more of an authorized autobiography ghost written by the author, is an interesting insight on how Morales would like himself to be portrayed. A shabby journalistic effort though, at least by American journalistic standards.

very great condition! although it is said a used book, looks like a brand new one!

I read the book and realized that the author does not talk about Evos dark side it only delves on the positive side of his personality. What about his strong alliance with Hugo Chavez? A democratic president with close ties to a Dictator. He writes about an austere president that saves money on ice cream but what about the Evo Morales that bought a 40 million dollar private plane with government monies without following due procedure or respecting the government laws regarding the purchase of these type of Items?
