Acknowledgements

I want to thank my supportive and talented wife Sara Jordan-Heintz for giving me the love, support and time to work on this book for four years. Without my wife’s love and support, I would never have had the self-esteem or confidence to take on this task.

I also want to thank my parents Tom and Ellie Heintz for being amazing role models and sticking with me during good and bad times. Thanks also go to my spirited and supportive older brother Erik Heintz and my grandma Jo Thoele for being the embodiment of what it means to be an empathetic person. Special thanks to my father-in-law Larry Jordan, a veteran journalist who played an integral role in helping me enlarge pictures, and my mother-in-law Julie for showing by example what it means to be classy and hard working.

I’m grateful to the New Internationalist, especially editor Chris Brazier, designer Juha Sorsa and marketing manager Dan Raymond-Baker, for believing in this project and working long hours to help me finish it. I also want to thank: Carrie Campbell for all the hard work she put into translating many of my interviews with leftwing figures from Latin America from Spanish to English and childhood friend Kevin Colston for introducing me to Tina Hwayoon Kim, who translated my interview with Lee Sang Yong. Other people who translated interviews from Spanish to English, or helped me find translators, include Joa LaVille, Jodie Bowden-Fuentes, Alexis Acosta, Felipe Albuquerque, Kimberly Brouhard, Joe Henry, Mayra de Catalan and Luis Roman. In addition, I’m indebted to Marieme Helie Lucas, Bill Weinberg, Maryam Namazie, Noam Chomsky, Gina Vargas, Ana Cofino, Alejandro Velasco, Sarah Eltantawi, Sodfa Daaji and Sonia Correa for helping me get in touch with interviewees.
