Parampil details the plot to steal Venezuela’s most valuable foreign asset, Citgo, setting the stage for the recent US military assault on Caracas. She describes her on-the-ground reporting from Venezuela and her interactions with the country’s leaders, from Nicolas Maduro to Delcy Rodriguez, as well as top opposition figures.Get a copy of Corporate Coup here.
