Title: Mito y realidad de una frontera
First published: 1996
Description: "Study of the attempt by Peru, with the assistance of the US government under the auspices of the McBride Commission, to firmly define and mark the border between Peru and Ecuador which had been determined under significant pressure at the Rio de Janeiro Conference of January 1942. Author is one of Peru's most prominent emerging diplomatic historians. The McBride Commission's work was largely completed with the assistance of the US Air Force and a number of airmen lost their lives flying the aerial photography missions. The book's significance lies in the fact that the Peruvian government relied heavily on the McBride Commission's findings to validate its position when the dispute over the border with Ecuador flared again in 1995"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
