Book Overview: Argentina evokes images of gauchos and the tango, of Juan and Eva Peron, of a country in the stranglehold of political corruption and runaway inflation. But behind these popular images, well-known figures, and international headlines lies a nation with a complex history, a sophisticated culture, and more hopeful future than people may realize.
