For example, Toro's decision to expropriate Standard Oil of New Jersey's Bolivian properties in 1937 was certainly linked to the colonel's rapidly falling political stock within the armed forces and his resulting effort to broaden his popular base. But although Gallego relies on British Foreign Office records to gain insight into the military decisionmaking process throughout the Toro regime, it is never fully clear how the veterans or the senior army officers worked with the colonel or his more popular successor, Busch. Had Gallego discussed the oral histories of Chaco War veterans found in Rene Danilo Arze Aguirre's Guerra y conflicto sociales. El caso rural Boliviano durante la campana del Chaco (1987), his analysis would have been enhanced. These significant problems notwithstanding, this work should be read by specialists interested in modem Bolivia and in Latin American populism. Gallego's more narrowly focused study augments Klein's Parties and Political Change in Bolivia, 1880-1952 (1969) and contains valuable discussions of key economic issues during the era of "military socialism." If he intends to continue in the same research direction, however, Professor Gallego should consider consulting Bolivian army journal literature and the records of the Modem Military Division of the U.S. National Archives.

One of the first significant investigations of the Paraguayan War available in English, it investigates the complexities of South American nationalism, military development, and political intrigue. A 2003 CHOICE Academic Title of the Year, The Paraguayan War sets the stage for The Road to Armageddon, Thomas L. Whigham's exploration of the effects of this devastating conflict on individuals, Paraguayan society, and the continent as a whole. Together, these books fill an important gap in our understanding of Latin American history.
