Descripción
State Secrets is a novel that exposes how some countries' respect and admiration for the United States transformed into anti-imperialism. Starting with the Bolivian people's uprising in October 2003 against their president and their proverbial enemy, the "Yankee Empire," two researchers delve into history to unearth the Pandora's box of Bolivian-American relations and the cause of Bolivian anti-imperialist sentiment. Risking their lives, they obtain information from the CIA and discover the dirty maneuvers of certain White House administrations to impose looting and other abusive policies in Bolivia in complicity with the puppet governments of that country. They also expose the resistance of the Bolivian people and the response in the form of repression, fraudulent elections, massacres, coups d'état, dictatorships, drug trafficking, and the assassination of opposition leaders. Based on historical facts and information from different sources, with real and fictional characters, the author masterfully weaves an interesting plot with a high level of action and suspense that will keep the reader on edge from beginning to end.
