Looks interesting.....I should read it.
When I was a boy my grandmother used to often tell me about her Uncle Tam the engineer from Coatbridge who ''built the railways in Argentina''. I had this vision of him with a pick and shovel in his hand.
I often wonder if my grandmother's stories had any influence on my future.

That looks like a treasure, GlasgowJohn . Great background and companion piece to The Last British President.
Without the British presence, Argentina would be a far different country. Let’s hope for a future revival of the relationship between the two countries!

Gosh, I've only just noticed this. If it weren't so expensive, I'd leap at the chance of buying it. Looks fascinating, especially as source material should I ever write a sequel.
Also available on Amazon.

And here's a profile of the author who is a professor of history at UC Santa Barbara.

Looking at the books Mr. Rock has published, I'd have trouble selecting only one. I wonder how he initially became interested in British-Argentine history, and in Argentina in general.
