Reviews

'Jill Hedges tells the story of Argentina clearly. There is considerable emphasis given to the careers and calculations of the ruling strata, particularly the political careers of Juan Domingo Peron and his wives Evita and Isabelita. This is a concise, well-informed, and highly readable one-volume history.' - Laurence Whitehead, Nuffield College, Oxford; 'Jill Hedges here provides a fact-laden and accurate political history that will be helpful to students of contemporary Argentina. She covers all of the key political movements - Liberalism, Radicalism, Peronism - while shedding particularly useful light on such institutions as the Church and the military. Her explanations of the twists and turns in Argentine economic policy are thorough and clear.' - Matthew B. Karush, George Mason University
