"An interesting collection of speeches and writings from 1990-93 by the influential, but frequently embattled, 39-year-old leader of the moderate right-wing Renovación Nacional party. Of particular interest are his thoughts on the transition to democracy, human rights abuses and national reconciliation, economic and political development, and developments within the rival Christian Democratic party"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Concludes that the economic 'ruin' of Lima by the end of the occupation was nearly complete. Suggests that the economic issues of the Chilean occupation were so profound that they played a significant role in delaying the final settlement of the War of the Pacific claims until 1929"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
