A narration of select events occurring between 1973-83 in a period of dirty war within the country. It is not a history so much as it is an elegy to those discussed, and a meditation on the corrosive fear infecting Argentina during these times. This is a remarkably powerful book, deserving of attention.

An interesting collection of essays focussed generally on two questions: is there a literature belonging to Latin America; and secondly, how does exile influence writing? The authors included Borges, Vargas Llosa, Garcia Marquez, Roa Bastos, and Alegria amongst others.

A summary of nineteenth and early twentieth wars in South America. It is less about the details of the wars and more about the coverage of them in the British press. As such, unless you are interested in this specific aspect, I'd suggest avoiding it.

El periodista angloargentino Andrew Graham-Yooll vuelca en este libro el fruto de años de investigación en los archivos del Reino Unido, donde se conservan las cartas y los textos en los que se habla sobre Rosas desde la visión de los británicos. Graham-Yooll, a través de abundante material, va narrando el ascenso, dictadura y caída del hombre que desafió a las dos potencias de la época –Francia y Gran Bretaña– y fue derrotado, pero que también instaló un sistema de terror que se repetiría trágicamente en la historia argentina.
El rastreo de diarios ingleses de la época, de correspondencia secreta y de textos de todo tipo echa nueva luz sobre hechos clave en nuestra historia como el combate de la Vuelta de Obligado, la ocupación de las islas Malvinas, el comercio con Inglaterra y su influencia en la independencia de las colonias de España.
