Reviews

'Marchesi's ambitious transnational history of radical politics in the Southern Cone blazes exciting paths for understanding Latin America's distinctive variants of the Cold War and the New Left. Based on new written and oral sources, it also fleshes out new dimensions of the Global Sixties and the consolidation of authoritarian regimes, while provoking us to reconsider the legacies of radical leftist politics. A surpassing achievement.' Gil Joseph, Yale University, Connecticut 'This is an important book on an important subject that has been little studied and less well understood. This is required reading for scholars and students of the Cold War in Latin America and the contest between revolution and counter-revolution in the Southern Cone.' Peter Winn, Tufts University, Massachusetts, author of Weavers of Revolution
