"The Venezuela of today - with its political stability and its prosperity from petroleum - did not come into existence by chance. The Venezuela of the 1980s is the result, as John V. Lomardi shows, of long-term development and specific patterns of actions. He describes the history of Venezuela from the sisteenth century to the present, paying particular attention to the creative period of 1750 to 1850. He explains that much of what Venezuela has become today can be clearly traced back to this rich 100-year time span when the search for political order and the dream of progress first began. Central to Lombardi's discussion is the history of Caracas, the capital city that has provided Venezuela with its identity and form from colonial times through the present day.\r\nMaps, tables, graphs, a detailed political chronology and a bibliographic essay complement the author's insightful analysis
