4.0 out of 5 stars
A fairly good overview of reactionary politics,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Argentine Right: Its History and Intellectual Origins, 1910 to the Present (Latin American Silhouettes) (Paperback)
If you're seeking an understanding of why the "right" has had such an influence on Argentine, this book may be a good source to increase your knowledge. It is a series of several essays covering various topics with regard to the Argentine Right from its conception around 1919 to its collapse in 1982 when the loss of the Falklands War triggered the fall of the Junta that had ruled since 1976. You will do yoursef a great largess if you skip the first chapter which was written by David Rock. Rock while totally accurate in his essay does not accomplish what the writting of history is really for, and that is to increase understanding. He writes an ego driven introduction to impress the reader with his vocublary and uses far too much "history-speak" jargon; the editors should have have stopped this but choose not to. However, the rest of the book is very well done. It's difficult to understand the democratic Argentina of today without knowing something of its reactionary past.
