This book brings together Carlos Fuentes' reflections on the North American and global political crisis developed under the George W. Bush administration. It compiles articles that the author has published in newspapers and magazines from around the world between August 2000 and July 2004, plus a never before published prologue and a final reflection. The articles go as far back as the vote-count conflict during the 2000 Gore/Bush elections until the current war in Iraq. In interviews, Fuentes has stated that he decided to publish this book in hopes of giving Latino voters a light into the country's situations.
