Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America
from W. W. Norton & Company

Customer Review:

Though maybe a little to sympathetic to Castro, this is a great book on the history of Latin America. For people like me, who know very little about this area of the world, this book was a great help. Well written, well organized, and right to the point.
I recommend this for AP World History... more info

The History of Argentina (Palgrave Essential Histories)
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $12.89

I was very disappointed in Mr. Lewis' recap of Argentinian history. It read much like a high school history text: with all the key dates and important political figures but very little context and no depth to keep the reader engaged. Dry in tone, nothing but the facts and not much to keep the reader... more info
