4.0 out of 5 stars Solo una version. Una cara de la moneda, Dec 16 2002
Podemos decir sin dificultad que este es un libro contra el capitalismo; lo es. O que el autor da una opinión parcial; así lo hace.

En este libro se muestra lo que pretende ser la otra cara de la historia y las noticias: Los datos que no conseguiríamos al buscar en sitios "oficiales" (reportes del FMI, grandes agencias noticiosas y similares). En el libro se dan datos acerca de pobreza, miseria, traición, asesinatos, hambre,...

Podemos estar de acuerdo o no. De cualquier modo, para tener una mejor perspectiva de la situación, recomiendo leer también El manual del perfecto idiota latinoamericano, libro que considero el complemento de Las venas abiertas de América Latina.

Aunque esté de más decirlo, conviene leer ambos libros críticamente, con la cabeza fría, como debe ser con los libros de estos temas.

Las venas... ha sido prohibido en algunos países, aunque está en su 73ra edición en español (2001). La primera edición es de 1970 y la revisión de 1978. Nada cambia de una a otra, sólo algunos datos son añadidos. Esto es una muestra de su gran popularidad, pero cada lector debe decidir acerca de la veracidad de su contenido.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is MUST read for Every North and Latin American, April 9 2000
By 
Zorroeast (Fairfax, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This Book was written By Galeano in 90 days ( moolighting) after his regular work in 1970. Yet it is the most enlightening account of 500 years of ransaking of a continent along with Genocide. This one and John Dos Pasos's USA, constitute the masterpieces in meta-historic literature. It is the story of spanish , british and american colonialism. What a shame for the guilty. A must read for all americans ( north and south of the border)... to see the naked truth. It also explains how this happened with the help of conquistadores, ( the Cross and the Sword)along with the more recent and most corrupt mother-land sellers, diplomacy, dictators and transnationals. A must read for burocrats and hypocrits in international finance agencies, as well as the lay people anywhere from the Bearing Strait to the Patagonia interested of knowing the facts of Latin American history. Like another reviewer wrote: "what I always suspected , just "did not know"
