About this book

Three disillusioned ex-leftists target many of Latin America's traditionally heroic icons, such as Castro, Che Guevara, Simón Bolívar, and the "popular church." They also target sentiments of victimization and anti-Americanism and the blissful ignorance of economics that have for years provided so many Latin Americans with faulty explanations for their miseries.
