John Lynch is emeritus professor of Latin American history at the University of London.
Thanks to Scholarly Resources for making John Lynch's wonderful
analysis of the Rosas era available in an accessible version for
undergraduate class use. I look forward to using this extraordinary
book in my classes.
*Lyman L. Johnson, University of North Carolina at Charlotte*
Argentine Caudillo is an excellent abridged edition of Lynch's
classic study on Rosas. In a volume widely recognized as one of the
leading works in English on nineteenth-century Argentina, Lynch
covers comprehensively the period of Rosas's ascendancy between the
late 1820s and early 1850s. He portrays Rosas the man, the origins
of his dictatorship, the objectives of his regime, the use of
terror, and the causes of his downfall. Eloquently written and
incisively argued, this book will remain the standard study of its
subject for many years to come.
*David Rock, University of California, Santa Barbara*
A matchless portrait, in startling chiaroscuro, of a
larger-than-life figure and his turbulent times. It's concise,
judicious, compelling, and, above all, a joy to read. Lynch is a
master. How fortunate that his biography of Rosas has been retooled
for the classroom, and by the master himself!
