A History Of Argentina In The Twentieth Century - Luis Alberto Romero
Sinopsis
"A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century, originally published in Buenos Aires in 1994, attained instantaneous status as a classic. Written as an introductory text for university students and the general public, it is a profound reflection on the ""Argentine dilemma"" and the challenges that the country faces as it tries to rebuild democracy. In the book, Romero painstakingly and brilliantly reconstructs and analyzes Argentina´s tortuous, often tragic modern history, from the ""alluvial society"" born of mass immigration, to the dramatic years of Juan and Eva Perón, to the recent period of military dictatorship and democracy.For this English-language edition, Romero has written a new chapter covering the 1990s and a postscript addressing the economic and political upheavals of early 2002. A rare book combining great erudition with an engaging narrative, it is destined to be the standard English language history of Argentina for many years to come."
