Zelaya Vows to Return to Honduras Despite Threats of Arrest by Coup Leaders

The ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has vowed to return to Honduras within the next few days in an attempt to reclaim power. Zelaya was forced out of office in a military coup d’etat on Sunday. He will reportedly return to Honduras accompanied by the OAS Secretary General, the presidents of Argentina and Ecuador, and the head of the UN General Assembly.

We speak with Latin American historian Greg Grandin. [includes rush transcript]
