Clifton Ross has made a name for himself making films and writing books about the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela. This book is an about-face: an exploration of how he realised the degree to which he was duped by a cult of personality - and how this has happened to him, and to much of the Left, over and over again. Part memoir, part historical and political analysis, Home From the Dark Side of Utopia is one man's reassessment of his faith in political parties and revolutionary vanguards.
