Bush Versus Chvez Washingtons War on Venezuela
Author: Eva Golinger

Eva Golinger's latest installment in the battle between the U.S. and the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela is a fascinating account that looks behind the scenes of U.S. policy towards the government of President Hugo ChÃ¡vez...a brilliant sequel to her previous book, The Chavez Code. Roberto Jorquera, Green Left Weekly — Few books to date... more » have done such an excellent job of presenting the multi-strategy approach to U.S. policy against Venezuela. Bush Versus ChÃ¡vez is one of the best to date and is useful for anyone who wants to understand how U.S. foreign policy functions abroad. Media Mouse

[Golinger's] most recent work documents the constant escalation of imperial attacks on the Bolivarian Revolution. She attacks without blinking, without distinction, the CIA, the Pentagon, the NED, the RSF, USAID, the Venezuelan mafia in Miami or Colombian paramilitarism, with the ardor of an attorney confronting the court with irrefutable evidence in her portfolio. Jean-Guy Allard, Granma International

Bush Versus ChÃ¡vez is highly recommended for community library social issues collections and for anyone who wants a look into the shadier actions of the Bush Administration. James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review

President Hugo ChÃ¡vez openly defies the ruling class in the United States, daring to advance universal access to health care and education, to remove itself from the economic orbit dominated by the United States, to diversify its production to meet human needs and promote human development, and to forge an economic coalition between Latin American countries.

But as Bush Versus ChÃ¡vez reveals, Venezuela'Â?s revolutionary process has drawn more than simply the ire of Washington. It has precipitated an ongoing campaign to contain and cripple the democratically elected government of Latin America'Â?s leading oil power. Bush Versus ChÃ?Â¡vez details how millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are used to fund groups -- such as the National Endowment for Democracy, the United States Agency for International Development, and the Office for Transition -- with the express purpose to support counter-revolutionary groups in Venezuela. It describes how Washington is attempting to impose endless sanctions, justified by fabricated evidence, to cause economic distress. And it illuminates the build up of U.S. military troops, operations, and exercises in the Caribbean, that specifically threaten the Venezuelan people and government. Bush Versus ChÃ¡vez exposes the imperialist machinations of Washington as it tries to thwart a socialist revolution for the twenty-first century.
