Book Synopsis
Maps and challenges many of the mythologies that surround the late iconic labor leader. Focusing on Chavez's own writings, this book argues that La Causa can be fruitfully understood as a quasi-religious movement based on Chavez's charismatic leadership, which he modeled after Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi.
