The Silence and the Scorpion: The Coup Against Chávez and the Making of Modern Venezuela
Abstract
On April 11, 2002, a massive peaceful opposition march in downtown Caracas suddenly veered from its authorized route and headed toward the presidential palace. Nelson's minute-by-minute reporting vividly re-creates the infectious excitement of mass participation, and his well-sketched mini-portraits illuminate the deeper currents of Venezuela's polarized politics.
