Hugo Chávez Frias won, promising a return to the prosperity of Venezuela's golden era. But the reality that followed was far from the dream. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the next two decades, Venezuela transformed dramatically--politically, economically, and ideologically. Once one of Latin America's most stable democracies, it became a nation teetering on the brink of collapse. How did a country on the path to first-world status fall so far? Was it Chávez alone, his government, and his failed policies--or were the seeds of disaster planted long before his rise? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book traces the pivotal events, policies, and attitudes that enabled Chávez's leadership to become entrenched, despite growing protests, hypocrisy, and failure.
