Non-Fiction Memoir
The charismatic former President of Mexico offers a
clear and candid perspective on the state of world
affairs
When Vicente Fox swept into office in
2000, he broke the dictatorial one-party rule that had
strangled Mexico for over seventy years. A native son of
Mexico, grandson of immigrants from the United States and
Spain, Fox worked his way from ranch hand and truck driver
to the youngest CEO in the history of Coca-Cola. His
political rise from precinct worker to world leader was
equally swift. As president, Vicente Fox steered Mexico’s
fragile young democracy through turbulent times, ushering in
six years of economic stability and reform in health care,
education, and housing, with increased freedom of the press.
His presidency also reduced poverty and tackled corruption.
Vicente Fox embodies the American Dream in its
broadest sense as a vision of the New World, as well as the
story of Mexico. Elected as a political outsider with a
message of honesty, change, and hope, he is truly a world
hero of democracy. This vivid book interweaves his inspiring
personal story with his bold ideas for the future of the
planet.
For the first time, President Fox reveals
the ups and downs of his close but rocky relationships with
world leaders from President George W. Bush and Prime
Minister Tony Blair to Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin and Hugo
Chávez.
In Revolution of Hope, President Fox
outlines a new vision of hope for the future of the
Americas. He speaks out forcefully on hot global topics like
immigration, the war in Iraq, racism, globalization, the
role of the United Nations, free trade, religion, gender
equity, indigenous rights and the moral imperative to heal
the global divide between rich and poor nations.
From the man who brought true democracy to Mexico,
Revolution of Hope is a personal story of triumph and
a political vision for the future.
