Description
This is a summary of the book, "Century of the Wind: Memory of Fire, Volume 3." The book covers the 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. The book is written beautifully and is a sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.

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.
