Book : Historical introduction to BA and / or Argentina

[MJO]

Dear All,

I will be visiting , and staying, in BA for a couple months early in the New Year. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Argentina and Buenos Aires is rudimentary. Could anyone suggest a comprehensive book to familiarize myself with Argentinian history or history of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods?


Thanks,

Do you speak Spanish? "Buenos Aires Tiene Historia" is a book I recommended on this site a few weeks ago. Use search box above for details

I started with this book, back in 2007. You dont have to drink alcohol, just visit a few, sit,sip, snack, and then walk around the area. https://www.scribd.com/document/710609066/Libro-Bares-Notables-2023-0
