La Argentina (Edición Corregida y Actualizada)

Un abordaje con honestidad intelectual y habilidad narrativa de un período polémico cuya memoria está empañada por los fusilamientos de militares y civiles de junio del 56, razón por la cual cuando se trata de escribir esta historia, -parafraseando a Octavio Paz- «las viejas heridas sangran todavía».

Su vida pública y privada. Maria Sáenz Quesada no se limita a ofrecer solo un relato biográfico de esta mujer apasionada, sino que le da vida a la historia de nuestro país en sus primeros años.

Sobre la base de una documentación rigurosa y en gran parte inédita, Roque narra la vida del presidente Sáenz Peña, al que se recuerda por la ley electoral que lleva su nombre y por la invocación "América para la Humanidad", del discurso de Washington.
