The Army and Politics in Argentina, 1962-1973: From Frondizi's Fall to the Peronist Restoration (Army & Politics in Argentina / Robert A. Potash)

Review"The publication of this volume completes Potash's definitive trilogy of the Argentine army and its involvement in that nation's political life from 1928 to 1973. . . . It provides a wealth of detail that reveals the extraordinary complexity of the topic, times, and personalities. . . . An important book, with unrivaled sources and judicious conclusions." -- History"The third in Potash's study of the Argentine military, this book is of the same high calibre as the previous volumes. Potash's intelligence, his skill as a historian, his unique access to the key actors in the drama, and the importance of the subject make the three-volume study an outstanding contribution to the literature." -- Samuel L. Baily - Rutgers UniversityThis is the concluding volume of the author's widely-acclaimed study of the crucial role of the Argentine Army in the nation's politics since 1928. This detailed, authoritative account of a hectic period in Argentine history is based on the author's access to the private archives of key military men, together with data obtained from scores of interviews with both civilians and military men-including ex-Presidents, cabinet ministers, and commanders-in-chief. An epilogue gives a brief summary of developments since 1973.From the Back Cover
