Although the revolutionary transformations in Venezuela have captured the world's attention, Latin America's leading oil power is increasingly at loggerheads with the powers in Washington. Bush Versus Chávez presents a detailed account of the tactics being employed by the United States to undermine the democratically elected government in Venezuela.

Through declassified information and in-depth research, Bush Versus Chávez uncovers how the United States funnels millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to groups, such as the National Endowment for Democracy and the United States Agency for International Development, to establish counter-revolutionary forces to foment social distress in Venezuela.

Bush Versus Chávez reveals the nefarious operations of Washington, as it fabricates evidence in an attempt to impose economic sanctions on Venezuela, and as it conducts military exercises in the Caribbean.

This book cuts through the media distortion and misrepresentation that surrounds discussion of Venezuela in the United States. It establishes how Washington is attempting to impose its domination on Venezuela. It seeks to inform U.S. readers of the actions of their government, in the hope of creating international support for the unhindered transformation of Venezuelan society.
