15:03Now PlayingOne of Latin America's most acclaimed writers, Eduardo Galeano, is out with the new book, "Children of the DaysA Calendar of Human History." Galeano's classic "Open Veins of Latin AmericaFive Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," made headlines when Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez gave President Obama a copy at the Summit of the Americas in 2009. Since its publication in 1971, "Open Veins" has sold over a million copies worldwide despite being banned by the military governments in Chile, Argentina and his native country of Uruguay. While in exile after the Uruguayan military junta seized power in a 1973 coup, Galeano began work on his classic trilogy, "Memory of Fire," which rewrites five centuries of North and South American history.
