Republics of the New World - The Revolutionary Political Experiment in Nineteenth Century Latin

"An outstanding and deeply erudite interpretation of Spanish American history in the nineteenth century. Sabato provides a new perspective on the originality and success of Latin American polities after independence, challenging a long tradition, particularly in English-speaking academia, of looking at that history as one of chaos and failure."--Pablo Piccato, Columbia University, author of A History of Infamy: Crime, Truth, and Justice in Mexico

"Timely and important. Sabato's book is rich in ideas and issues."--Thomas Bender, author of A Nation among Nations: America's Place in World History
