More about the book
Focusing on the life of Juan Manuel de Rosas, this edition explores his significant role in 19th-century Argentina as a dominant caudillo and absolute ruler of Buenos Aires. Described by Charles Darwin as a man of extraordinary character, Rosas balanced leadership of the gauchos with the interests of powerful landowners. His regime, marked by systematic terror, established an early form of totalitarian rule. This scholarly work serves as an insightful resource for both students and scholars interested in Latin American history.
