ISBN 9789802470013.Matos manages to join liberals with nationalists to form an army of 18,000 men, 9,000 from the East, 9,000 from the West, in a country of 2 million inhabitants. There is a time when Castro will have under his control only the states of Aragua, Miranda, Carabobo, the Federal District, the Andes and Zulia; because the rest of the country, the Center and South of the West, all of the East and Guayana are in the hands of the revolution.
