Century Of The Wind( Series - Memory Of Fire Trilogy, Part 3 )

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.

A unique and epic history, Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy is an outstanding Latin American eye view of the making of the New World. From its first English language publication in 1985 it has been recognized as a classic of political engagement, original research, and literary form.
