The Soul Of Latin America

I had been patiently waiting for Jon Meacham’s “The Soul Of America,” when the helpful librarian sent me a copy she had located at the University library. Except that the book turned out to be “The Soul Of Latin America.”

Also interesting, this book is a more scholarly tome that analyzes the cultural forces behind early Latin America, as compared to those behind early North America.

Quote from EJLarson

I suppose you’ve read “Guns, Germs, and Steel” by Jared Diamond. Fascinating read. Explains why the poor New World bastards never had a hope.

No, I have never read it, but it looks as if I should. Thanks for the recommendation.
