Reader Reviews
With a more accurate title, I would have happily given this book five stars. It is an informative and enjoable account up to independance from spain and portugal. It highlights differences between viceroyalties and presents a vivid picture of the people & changes in political climates until the early 1800s. After this, the pace becomes hurried and the conclusions vague. To really claim that it covers history to the present, it would need finer graining and more modern material to describe the development of distinct groups of nations. The first three quarters were so good that the postcolonial section was a dissapointment.
