There is one country in the Americas that the Bush Administration regards as a significant threat to U.S. interests, and it is not Cuba. Oil-rich Venezuela's democratically-elected government has survived repeated, U.S.-supported attempts to undermine its power, including a short lived military coup. Its leader, President Hugo Chavez, is neither communist nor capitalist, and instead claims to be creating an alternative 21st Century socialism that courts international capital. What is the real story behind this leader of Latin America's lurch to the left?

The curiosity of a North American living in Venezuela and the expertise of two Venezuelans--one an adviser in the Presidential Palace, and the other a journalist with a weekly column in one of Venezuela's leading newspapers--bring insiders' answers to outsiders' questions, such as: Is Chavez a dictator?
