Chile and Argentina | 
panThis audiobook feels like it was ripped from my 1970's elementary social studies class, where the documentary narrator boomed like he was God. It feels dated as heck, even though it was published in 2006. The overview of #Chile was pretty thin (no pun intended). There was much more detail about #Argentina, so it's an uneven book. The focus was on politics, who led and when, so it was boring. And the author seemed to glorify authoritarianism ⬇
Texreader which you can get a hint of in the book's description: “Chile has a long history of internal strife, usually with representative politics until authoritarians seized power.“ Cheers to authoritarianism--kill your opponents, and voila! No more internal strife. Not a book I'd recommend even though, admittedly, I know a bit more about these countries than I did before. #readingtheAmericas 3mo
Librarybelle Sounds like a pass for me! 3mo
Texreader @Librarybelle I should‘ve bailed. I‘d already read books for both countries. I was just hoping for some more insight. I guess I got it… 3mo
Librarybelle Way to persevere! 3mo
