Exclusive Bundle Deal: 30% Off

For Now and Forever! The 1992 Coup d’etat Attempts in Venezuela Volumes 1–2 provides the first comprehensive military history of the dramatic and little-studied coup attempts that shook Venezuela in 1992 and reshaped the country’s political future.

Together, the two volumes examine the political, economic, and social collapse that followed the oil crisis of the 1980s, the Caracazo riots of 1989, and the growing unrest within Venezuela’s armed forces. Volume 1 explores the background to the coups, the organisation and equipment of the Venezuelan military, and the opening stages of the February 1992 uprising led by elements of the armed forces associated with Hugo Chávez. Volume 2 continues with a detailed reconstruction of the second, more ambitious coup in November 1992, including intense urban fighting and the unprecedented use of combat aircraft over Caracas.

Drawing on official records, first-hand testimony, and rare archival material, and richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and specially commissioned colour artwork, this two-volume bundle offers exceptional value and an authoritative operational-level study of one of the most extraordinary episodes in modern Latin American military history.
