"The anthology constitutes a pioneering English-language work on
the war that completes the turn of its historical discussion away
from tired polemics over tyranny and imperialism and toward
critical questions of state formation. . . . The volume effectively
illustrates diverse aspects of a war hastening the consolidation of
a modern social and political order. Moreover, its glimpses into
those bygone dreams of modernity and nationhood offer excellent
food-for-thought for the researcher and student alike."-Michael
Kenneth Huner, The Americas

essays in this collection provide interesting and useful
perspectives on the war in Paraguay and the allied countries. The
book offers a readable introduction to the subject of the
Paraguayan War."-Robert H. Jackson History: Reviews of New Books --
