I really enjoyed Sink the Belgrano. The war from the perspective of the submarine HMS Conqueror, that sunk the argentine heavy cruiser Belgrano in what is so far the worlds first and only nuclear submarine v ship combat.
Yanqui here, I just wanted to second the nomination for Guerrillas and Generals. It gives a great history of what led up to the 1976 coup in addition to the standard info about 76-83.
If you want more of the raw data, pick up Nunca Más, which has been translated into English. If you don't want to buy it, you can access the entire report here.
Also, there's some really interesting work done on the aftermath of the dictatorship. Pick up A Lexicon of Terror or Postmemories of Terror, both of which are excellent.
What a time to recommend potentially the most academically specific and boring titled book ever!
Revolution on the Pampas : A Social History of Argentine Wheat 1860-1910 by James Scobie.
Hello there!
By far, the very best book I have read on Argentina history is The Invention of Argentina by Nicholas Shumway which is, remarkably, written by an american bloke who spent quite a bit of time here getting his PhD.
It's brief, and its insight on the foundations of our country is truly brilliant.
