Starting with the uprising of the Bolivian people on October 2003, against their president and their proverbial enemy, "The Yankee Empire," Secrets of the State, digs into history to unearth the Pandora's Box of the relations Bolivia-United States, and the root cause for the Bolivian anti-imperialistic sentiment. It expose, among other things, the devious schemes that American Oil companies have carried out to gain control of the Bolivian's hydrocarbons, with the help of certain White House administrations and the complicity of Bolivia's own puppet regimes. All the corruption created there by Washington, to impose its policies and defend its interests, the resistance of the Bolivian people, and the United States' response with repression, rigged elections, massacres, revolutions, dictatorships, and assassination of opposing leaders. The author masterfully weaved together little known historical events, with declassified CIA information, and the people´s history, to create using real and fictional characters, an exciting plot, full of action and suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from the beginning to the very end.Secrets of the State, due to its nature, had to be written as a literary work in which fiction is necessary to understand reality. The true will jump with clarity from its pages.
