Comandante: Hugo Chávez's Venezuela by Rory Carroll

2.0

This was not a biography of Chavez, which it took me 190-ish pages to figure out. This was a very jumbled up set of short vignettes centered around different personalities and different sequences of time that occured because of Chavez. If the reader knows nothing of Bolivar, they should read a biography/history of him first. And if you want the story of Chavez's rise you should read something else. The non-linear storytelling in this is confusing. I finished the book with more questions than I had before starting.
