Joel D. Hirst's pathbreaking study examines the Chavez phenomenon and ALBA, crisply documenting the political and economic ideology behind Chavez's petroleum-driven alliance of nations. Heavily committed to a collectivist, authoritarian, and anti-American future, ALBA in its present confi guration challenges U.S. democratic values, economic liberty, and hemispheric security cooperation. It should be a matter of concern, not just to Washington policy makers, but to all friends of freedom throughout the Americas.
