Century of the Wind: Memory of Fire, Volume 3

The third volume of Eduardo Galeano's <i>Memory of Fire</i> trilogy, <i>Century of the Wind</i> offers a panorama of Galeano's singular vision of the past, turbulent century: 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 Latin America. Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written, <i>Century of the Wind</i> is a sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.
