Started skimming through these:

• Building The Commune: Radical Democracy In Venezuela
• Extraordinary Threat: The U.S. Empire, The Media, And Twenty Years Of Coup Attempts In Venezuela
• Bad News from Venezuela: Twenty Years of Fake News and Misreporting

I had a print copy of Building The Commune a few years back but I passed it along to someone else before getting very far in it. Right now I am just flipping through these to get some historical details but I’ll probably just settle on one of them to fully read.

Also came across this recently, though I have no idea if/when I’ll get around to reading it, but it seemed interesting: The red earth: a Vietnamese memoir of life on a colonial rubber plantation.
