Review

A book as fascinating as the history it relates.... Galeano is a satirist, realist, and historian, and... deserves mention alongside John Dos Passos, Bernard DeVoto, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Memory of Fire is devastating, triumphant... sure to scorch the sensibility of English-language readers.
