The author Ron MacCammon, Ed.D., who is a retired US Army Special Forces Colonel and former political officer at the US State Department who has written extensively on security, governance, and international affairs. He talks about his latest book: The Chronicles of El Mistico, a story takes root in the hillside barrio of La Bombilla, Caracas. There we meet Miguelito—an ordinary young man, scarred by poverty and loss, who is pulled into the extraordinary. His journey is not heroic in the traditional sense. It begins with hesitation, with fear, with the fragile weight of family and love pressing against the inevitability of resistance. Yet in those moments of doubt, in the quiet defiance of a single step, a nation begins to tremble.
