MADURO: THE LAST ACT Chronicle of a Buffoon Turned Dictator From the steering wheel of a Caracas bus to the Presidential Palace of Miraflores, Nicolás Maduro’s story seems absurd… until it becomes a tragedy. Ridiculed as the “little bird” president, underestimated by the entire world, Maduro managed to stay in power for more than a decade through hunger, fear, repression, and corruption. This book combines the rigor of journalism with the tension of a novel to tell the complete chronicle of his rise, his survival, and the scenarios of his inevitable fall. The endless food lines and the CLAP system as a tool of control. - The armed colectivos, the secret prisons, and the factory of fear. - The narco-state of the Cartel of the Suns. - The alliances with Russia, Cuba, Iran, Turkey, and China. - The rise and fall of Juan Guaidó. - The rage in the streets and the exodus of millions of Venezuelans. - The betrayals within chavismo and the final storm shaking the regime. Beyond Maduro, this book is the portrait of a people who never stopped resisting. A testimony that reminds us every dictator falls, though no one can predict how or when. An essential account to understand today’s Venezuela… and the one yet to come.
