In English the best general account of Bolivian politics since the revolution of 1952 is James Dunkerley, Rebellion in the Veins: Political Struggle in Bolivia, 1952–82 (London, 1984). James M. Malloy and Eduardo Gamarra, Revolution and Reaction: Bolivia, 1964–85 (New Brunswick, N.J., 1988) is also worth reading. James M. Malloy and Richard S. Thorn (eds.), Beyond the Revolution: Bolivia since 1952 (Pittsburgh, Pa., 1971) contains a number of essays that are still of value. To a lesser extent it is also worth consulting Jerry R. Ladman’s edited collection, Modern-Day Bolivia: A Legacy of the Revolution and Prospects for the Future (Tempe, Ariz., 1982). A standard source for the pre-revolutionary period is Herbert S. Klein, Parties and Political Change in Bolivia, 1880–1952 (Cambridge, Eng., 1969), which is strong on the 1930s, but peters out thereafter. His more recent survey, Bolivia: The Evolution of a Multi-Ethnic Society (Oxford, 1982) pays due attention to the 1940–80 period, although without really vindicating its curious sub-title. J. Valerie Fifer, Bolivia: Land, Location, and Politics since 1825 (Cambridge, Eng., 1972) gives useful background on the Chaco, but does not develop the implications of Bolivia’s location for the postwar period. Other relevant books in English include Christopher Mitchell, The Legacy of Populism in Bolivia: From the MNR to Military Rule (New York, 1977); Jerry W. Knudson, Bolivia: Press and Revolution 1932–64 (Lanham, Md., 1986), which contains many nuggets of information, although the analysis is not very sophisticated; Charles F. Geddes, Patino: The Tin King (London, 1972) from a pro-company standpoint.
