The third volume of Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy, Century
of the Wind 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, Century of the Wind is a
sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has
previously imagined.
