Review: Thorough and enjoyable Argentinean history - Loved the organization and detail Lots of politics and divisiveness amongst this diverse population - extreme growing pains for this country like many other South American countries. Lots of good references for those who want to know more. History buffs will enjoy this read
Review: Good but - Maybe it's just me but although I enjoyed reading this book it felt a little "unbalanced." It starts out very strong with the early history of the peoples that lived there. It flows smoothly into the age of the Inca, who seem to have only occupied a relatively small but heavily populated area. Then it moves into the Spanish colonization of the area. The next sections/chapters on the Spanish were interesting, the power struggles that took place among the Spanish colonizers seem to have imprinted themselves on the country/people and still last into modern times. Rightfully so, the Napoleonic era is discussed based on it's effects on the peoples of Argentina. Every time you read a Captivating History book about the "Americas" you see the effects of his reign on the entire western hemisphere, both directly and indirectly. In the case of Argentina, his overthrow of the Spanish royalty and imprisonment of the king set the stage of the future independence movement. The book spends a goodly amount of time and detail on the war for independence and the subsequent civil wars that spring up due to not only political differences but power struggles, egos and greed. As happens too often, power brokers feel if they can't win your hearts and minds they can at least control your physical form. One of the most infamous of these people was Juan Peron and his wife Evita. The book does a good job covering them but I felt it missed some of the greater importance of their support for the NAZI powers. From here the book felt rushed to me, like they were trying to cover the period of the 1970s until the present in an outline more than a concise history but maybe it's just me. Argentina's Dirty War of the 70s is reminiscent of the actions we saw/see in most communist or military dictatorships all over the world. Again, it's if I can't win you over to my way of thinking based on merit, I'll just control your life to make you conform. The impact of this period is still felt today. Many of the perpetrators are unpunished and there is still many missing persons. Starting around 1983 the country moved back toward normalization and a representative government. This is a good read with a lot of information on the early days of the country and the people but I felt the last 40 years, which are some of the most important, were perhaps too concise. I would recommend this book and you as the reader can decide.

### ⭐⭐⭐ political history of Argentina
*by A***R on August 16, 2024*

Too much detail in the military leadership and actions in the fight for independence. Too little on industry, geography, culture and finance of the country. Nothing mentioned about Argentinian food or music. Nothing is told of the contribution of the waves of immigration. Overall this was a disappointment. I’ve read many books in this history series in preparation for travel and this has been a poor introduction to the country. The book could be summarized by saying Argentina has suffered war, destruction of native tribes and endless liberation and internal wars, insurrection and political chaos ever since. The reason why Argentina with all it’s resources has been a failure compared to The US and Canada is not addressed.
