Robert Niebuhr ties in the conflict not just to international relations but to the internal political evolution of the participants, an aspect that has been even more ignored, if that is possible. The lessons he brings out have a bearing on the political development of Bolivia and Paraguay as well as on all the heirs of the Spanish Empire in the Western Hemisphere.”—Bruce Farcau, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Chaco War: Bolivia and Paraguay, 1932–1935\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Undergraduate and graduate students alike will employ this accessible study to discover how Chaco War veterans, Indigenous peasants, students, miners, and perhaps most notably Bolivian women— the ‘Generation of the Chaco’—pushed for greater political influence and a better life.
