तख़्तापलट  (Hindi, Paperback, Prashad Vijay)

�Like his hero Eduardo Galeano, Vijay Prashad makes the telling of the truth lovable; not an easy trick to pull off, he does it effortlessly.��� Roger Waters, Pink Floyd �This book brings to mind the infinite instances in which�Washington Bullets�have shattered hope.��� Evo Morales Ayma, former President of Bolivia Washington Bullets�is written in the best traditions�of Marxist journalism and history-writing. It is a book of fluent and readable stories, full of detail�about US imperialism, but never letting the minutiae�obscure the larger political point. It is a book that�could easily have been a song of despair � a lament of�lost causes; it is, after all, a roll call of butchers�and assassins; of plots against people�s movements�and governments; of the assassinations of socialists,�Marxists, communists all over the Third World by the�country where liberty is a statue. Despite all this,�Washington Bullets�is a book about�possibilities, about hope, about genuine heroes.�One such is Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso � also�assassinated � who said: �You cannot carry out�fundamental change without a certain amount of madness.�In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage�to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to�invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday�for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I�want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.� Washington Bullets�is a book infused with this�madness, the madness that dares to invent the future.
