Recenzje

‘For decades, this book has been one of the most important references about Bolivian history. This version extends the study until the tumultuous political events of October 2019 and 2020. The use of updated and diverse information, as well as the consistency of the analysis, assure that the preeminence of the book will endure.’ José Peres-Cajías, University of Barcelona
