"Provides comprehensive information on the geography, history, wildlife, governmental structure, economy, cultural diversity, peoples, religion, and culture of Uruguay"--Provided by publisher.
This is a 2009 book so if you're looking for current history you should skip this one. However, it is a good introductory read on Uruguay. It provides a complete overview of history, politics, economy, and culture that's just enough to get you fairly well acquainted with this diamond-shaped country.
Now... I just need to visit and enjoy it on my own.
