Books by Richard J. Walter

A comprehensive analysis of Argentina's Socialist Party's origins, its development, and its actions during the almost two decades of civilian, democratic government that ended with the military coup of 1930.

This book describes the rapid growth of Santiago-Chile's capital and its largest and most important city-for the period 1891-1931. Based on a wide range of original research, the book describes the growth of the city, both demographically and spatially, and highlights the role of the local administration in this process.

Buenos Aires is Argentina's wealthiest, largest, and most populous province. This first account of its political history between 1912 and 1943 underscores its role as a vital factor in national political life.
