Sumario: | The book critically examines the events and underlying motivations of Argentina's military coup in 1976. It challenges the dominant narratives that simplify the coup as a binary conflict between military forces and subversive elements, often termed the 'Two Demons Theory.' Instead, it delves into the socio-economic factors and class interests that fueled the military intervention, highlighting the role of the bourgeoisie in maintaining power through both dictatorship and democracy. The book traces the origins of civil unrest back to the late 1960s and explores the political and social dynamics leading to the coup. Aimed at readers interested in Argentine history and political science, the book seeks to uncover the true class-driven nature of the coup and its impact on Argentine society.
