In the Shadow of the Liberator: Hugo Chávez and the Transformation of VenezuelaVerso, 2000 - 246 من الصفحات The spectre of Simon Bolivar hovers once again over Latin America as the aims and ambitions of the Liberator are taken up by Comandante Hugo Chavez, the charismatic and controversial President of Venezuela.
