I found this book a bit disjointed, but certainly worth reading for the insights Goni offers about his country and the fleeting period between the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War in earnest. The wisdom that Goni has to bestow on his countrymen is that the influx of the dregs of fascist Europe did not corrupt Argentina. Corruption was already waiting for these mostly B-List fascists in the form of the Peron regime, with its delusions of grandeur and obsessions about American imperialism. Let's just say that no one comes out of this story very well, particularly the Catholic Church; the great enablers in this whole enterprise. This book should also probably not be the first book you read about 20th-century Argentina; maybe the second or third. That said, Goni tells an interesting story and as an archivist I found his vision of the mismanagement of the Argentinian archives sadly amusing. ( )no reviews | add a review
