ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this book the author narrates how he was able to unmask Nicolas Maduro while on camera, along with everything that happened before and after the meeting.

On February 25th 2019, Jorge Ramos, along with his Univision team, conducted an interview with Venezuela's dictator, Nicolas Maduro. An interview that had been meticulously prepared, after only seventeen minutes of having started, and after showing his irritation at the journalist's severe questioning (who is always faithful to his commitment of confronting the powerful), the dictator abruptly ended the interview. A tremendous act of censorship was thus produced that involved confiscating the recording equipment, Jorge Ramos' arrest, and finally his expulsion from Venezuela.

With his usual direct and investigative style, Ramos narrates the ins and outs of this dangerous journalistic experience that had worldwide repercussions, including what he did to avoid being imprisoned, to save his team who was traveling with him, and later recover the then-seized interview.
