Memory of Fire - 3: Century of the Wind

More about the book

Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written, the third volume of Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy, Century of the Wind serves up the turbulent 20th century's worth of U.S.-Latin American relations, from the bucolic New Jersey laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison to the armies of Emiliano Zapata and Fidel Castro to the Reagan-era CIA "neutralizations" in the forests of Central America.
