"...[Walter] has opened a new window onto Chilean political history, not least because of the unique parallels he has drawn with events in other Latin American cities. The book is also impressive for the sheer quantity of primary sources he has compressed into direct, readable prose. Scholars of international business will find it an incomparable resource for studying the origins of Chilean hostility to foreign-owned businesses." - Business History Review "Historians, urban geographers, political scientists, and many others will find great value in Walter's very detailed, informative, and well-written study." - American Historical Review "This book is a valuable contribution to the field of urban politics in Latin America....Walter is one of the best in telling the story of city administrations, and his tireless investigation brings out rich details." - The Americas
