description: When the first volume ended, Pérez had just become the fourth popularly elected president of the Acción Democrática party. Tarver (social sciences and philosophy, Arkansas Technical U.), along with three named but otherwise unidentified colleagues, pick up the story and follow it through the political benefits of economic nationalism in 1974-79, the political dangers of neo-liberalism in 1988-93, corruption, his impeachment and trial in 1993, his time in prison, his re-entry into politics, his electoral loss to Hugo Chávez in 1998, and his continuing legal problems.
