perfect

well organized, easy to read, and informative, this was one of the best books on Bolivia I've read.

Terrific

This is an excellent, comprehensive account of the forces that led to the ascencion of Evo Morales. Morales himself is not the focus, instead the authors examine the history of liberalism (as a social order) and neoliberalism (as an economic order) in Bolivia. They aptly relate the effects of liberalism to the clamour for change.
