A History of Chile, 1808-1994 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)
'This is a most enjoyable book. The author's intentions are clearly set out in the preface where they state their aim to provide a general account of modern Chilean history and they have done so most successfully. The overriding tone of the book is one of immense affection and respect for Chile and its people, and there is an overwhelming sense that the authors enjoyed writing this book very much. Such sentiments are communicated to the wide range of readers to whom this book will appeal ... a rich history of Chilean political, economic and cultural life which is in no way diminished by being a 'basic narrative' rather than a complex interweaving of theory and empiricism which can frequently cloud an appreciation of history.'
