Antonio Caballero no sólo tiene el país en la cabeza, también tiene allí su historia entera, y gracias a esto hace que el relato de los hechos que nos han marcado –hechos tan enmarañados, tan insólitos, tan atribulados– sea un interesante y fluido recorrido por todos aquellos acontecimientos y personajes que han moldeado el camino hasta traernos al escenario actual.
