THE BATTLE FOR PARADISE Puerto Rico Takes On the Disaster Capitalists

This short audiobook packs as potent a punch as the hurricanes that devastated the island of Puerto Rico in 2017. Its intent is to clear a path forward for the people and institutions that are still subject to American rule but who wish to remake Puerto Rico into a sustainable, unique place to live. The author also warns about those who want to profit from its pain. Narrator Erin Bennett approaches this work in a clear, authoritative voice that reflects the no-nonsense tone of Klein's words. Bennett takes control immediately, pausing effectively and pacing herself so that we can both understand and analyze the book's message. Even more memorable, she maintains a measured approach even when the message becomes fiery. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
