What is the best book you can recommend on the history of Argentina?

FWIW, one historian I can definitely recommend is José Ignacio García Hamilton. He’s written extensively on Argentina’s authoritarianism and unproductiveness, covering figures like Alberdi, Perón, and others. I’m not sure if any of his works are available in English though. Unfortunately, many other historians (I don't know all of them, of course) who cover Argentina are rabid statists, so you often get a warped view of what really happened.

Let me get back to you on that. I’ll check in with my Argentine friends and see what they think.
