Fields of Revolution is an outstanding work of historical scholarship. It will change our understanding not only of the agrarian reform itself but also of the wider character and legacy of the 1952 National Revolution in Bolivia. Based on diligent and discerning archival research, this study shows the importance of regional comparison as well as identifying key features of differentiation within the rural population. As a result, the book qualifies much of the established historiography, not least over the role of the MNR in rural affairs. Independent in outlook and fair-minded in appraisal, this is a study that should be read by everyone interested in modern Bolivia.
