Det som är bra med den här boken är att författaren faktiskt har åkt till Latinamerika själv och undersökt. Han träffar människor från alla olika samhällsklasser. På vägen börjar man inse vilka misslyckanden som ligger bakom den världsdelens elände.
Författarens egna vänsteråsikter skiner ofta igenom. Men boken innehåller också mycket fakta, och ögonvittnesmål som inte kan bestridas genom att placera in texten i ett politiskt fack.
