True Identity of Latin America Exposed

Sherman writes about true Latin America leaving out morals and biais. It is a very fast paced book. It is very easy to follow. I recommend this book to everybody, especailly to anyone whose major involves Latin America. I go to college where Sherman teaches and he class follows right along with the book.

Absolutely marvelous!

This book is definitely one of a kind. A 'must-have' for every single Latin American living abroad or in his/her native country. This book should be of compulsory use in secondary schools in all Latin American countries. Truly, an eye opener to all senses!

Excellent Introduction to Latin American Politics

This wonderfully writen book takes a look at the factors that have kept (and continue to keep) the Latin American masses in near-absolute poverty. This is an excellent book for anyone with an open mind who is trying to understand the present day politics and economics of the area.
