As the lawyer for Argentine Airlines and the former president of the U.S.-Argentine Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence Levine witnessed firsthand the political events that spurred Argentina's civil war and the devastating economic consequences of that country's estranged political relations with the U.S. In a personal memoir, he offers a glimpse into modern Argentine history, from his brief meetings with Nikita Khrushchev, Hubert Humphrey and Juan Peron to his direct dealings with the opening of Banco de la Nacion in America
