The third volume of Eduardo Galeano'sMemory of Firetrilogy,Century of the Windoffers a panorama of Galeano's singular vision of the past, turbulent century: from the bucolic New Jersey laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison to the armies of Emiliano Zapata and Fidel Castro to the Reagan-era CIA "neutralizations" in the forests of Latin America. Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written,Century of the Windis a sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.
