A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century, originally published in Buenos Aires in 1994, attained instantaneous status as a classic. Written as an introductory text for university students and the general public, it is a profound reflection on the `Argentine dilemma` and the challenges that the country faces as it tries to rebuild democracy. In the book, Romero painstakingly and brilliantly reconstructs and analyzes Argentina`s tortuous, often tragic modern history, from the `alluvial society` born of mass immigration, to the dramatic years of Juan and Eva Persn, to the recent period of military dictatorship and democracy. For this first English-language edition, Romero has written a new chapter covering the 1990s. A rare book combining great erudition with an engaging narrative, it is destined to be the standard English-language history of Argentina for many years to come.The son of Argentina`s greatest twentieth-century historian, Josi Luis Romero, Luis Alberto Romero has emerged as one of the leading historians of his generation in Argentina. Romero`s generation is one that has witnessed the most dramatic decades of the country`s modern history, the decline of Argentina and its descent into violence, dictatorship, and despair, but also the hopeful if often difficult process of rebuilding democracy since the mid-1980s. Combining the rigor of the professional historian with a passionate commitment to his country`s future, Romero`s work is a major contribution to our understanding of one of Latin America`s most important nations. This translation by James Brennan, himself a leading English-speaking historian of Argentina, makes this valuable book available to a wide readership inthe United States and elsewhere in the world.
