Inside Argentina from Peron to Menem: 1950-2000 from an American Point of View

As the lawyer for Argentine Airlines and the former president of the U.S.-Argentine Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence Levine witnessed firsthand the political machinations that spurred Argentina's civil war and the devastating economic consequences of that country's estranged political relations with the U.S. In a personal memoir, Levine offers journalists and students of Argentine history a glimpse Inside Argentina: From Per n to Menem. From his brief meetings with Nikita Khrushchev, Hubert Humphrey and Juan Per n (""the Richard Nixon of Argentina"") to his direct dealings with the opening of Banco de la Naci n in America, Levine's rather flat yet informative account (written with the help of Kathleen Quinn) provides the reader with a deeper understanding of a country struggling for autonomy and democracy.
