Revolution of Hope

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
When Vicente Fox swept into office in 2000, he broke the dictatorial one-party rule that had strangled Mexico for over seventy years. As president, he steered the country's fragile young democracy through tough times, fighting corruption and ushering in six years of economic stability and reform in health care, education, and housing. In Revolution of Hope, President Fox reveals how he did it, and speaks for the first time on his close but rocky relationships with world leaders from George W. Bush and Tony Blair to Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, and Hugo Chávez.
