"1972 PolySci Tome Now Current Amazon Smash Hit

openveins.png

Yesterday, the once-banned Uruguayan political science classic The Open Veins of Latin America was listed at #54,295 at the Amazon.Com. Right now it's at #2, beating out the latest novel in the sexed-up-teen-vampire Twighlight series, for cryingoutloud. Hugo Chavez intends to destroy the American publishing industry with his inexplicably influential gift-giving. Why can't he just give iPods like a normal president?

Seriously: push this to #1, people, mush!

3. Glad you guys got/going to order the book . . .

I think it is the best book on Latin America. It will rip your heart out,too. When I read it, I would get up after reading 5-10 pages and walk around the house just to try to shake off the profound sadness and injustice.

It would be great if you guys, during or after you finish reading the book, would share your impressions with us.

4. That was the same feeling I felt after reading the first dozen chapters in the Shock Doctrine.

Sadness abound

5. You can get it thru leftbooks too

You can buy it thru www.leftbooks.com if you don't like
Amazon.
When it went to #2 Amazon hid it from their 'bestsellers'
list. Jerks.
