Customer Review: 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.

I already know where to stay or dine, but I wanted to know more then just the few lines other touristbooks write about certain places. There is a lot of... more info
