Description: "Splendid work on the pre-Popular Front era, particularly the activities of Gustavo Ross Santa María and the election of Aguirre Cerda. Ross managed to improve the economy and reduce Chile's foreign debt through a variety of schemes, including fleecing the foreign bond holders. Relying heavily on primary sources, this is required reading for political and diplomatic historians"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
