For travellers and everyone interested in understanding the Latin American nations, this book reveals a volatile mixture of progress, poverty, dramatic history and dangerous politics. Harvey analyzes cultural and economic trends, descriptive travel detail and the state of Latin America today.
For travellers and everyone interested in understanding the world's most turbulent and fascinating region, "Fire Down Below" is an up-to-date, vividly reported, nation-by-nation guide to Central and South America. In the tradition of John Gunther's "Inside Latin America", Robert Harvey's "Fire Down Under" reveals a volatile mixture of progress, poverty, dramatic history, and dangerous politics. Harvey, a former Latin American correspondent for "The Economist", combines his expertise as a reporter and political observer with insights from history, analyses of cultural and economic trends, interviews, and descriptive travel detail to explain the character of each nation - and the real state of Latin America today. He examines the issues and personalities behind the stories currently making news - from the turmoil in Nicaragua to the effects of the debt crisis - and recreates the rich cultures, exotic cities, and remarkable landscapes of each nation. Robert Harvey is also the author of an eyewitness account of Portugal's 1974-5 revolution, "Portugal: Birth of a Democracy" and is the editor of a book on British politics "Blueprint 2000".
