"Lavishly produced biography of the Argentine who carried the patriot cause to the interior provinces, Paraguay, and Upper Peru. Includes brief, thoughtful pieces on such topics as iconography, genealogy, economic and political thought, military organization, and Belgrano's relations with women"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"An excellent compilation of texts by 31 Argentine political commentators and polemecists from the 1846-80 era. Authors include Mitre, Sarmiento, Alberdi, Echeverría, José Hernández, and Vicente F.
