Description: "The Conservative Party flourished thanks to its discipline and organization. The rise of a left wing among the Churchmen, the defection of the Falange, coupled with a general discontent with political parties, electoral reform, and an independent peasantry, eventually shattered its cohesion. An inability to distinguish reform from extremism completed the process of decay. Important political study worth reading"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
