Synopsis
"Essentially an update on John Frank Cady's now-classic Foreign Intervention in the Râio de la Plata, 1838-50 (1929). Challenges utility of the 'informal empire' concept in explaining Britain's sloppy handling of its Platine interests in the mid-19th century. McClean is more comfortable with English-language materials (which includes an array of documents from the PRO), than he is with those sources written in Spanish"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Industry Reviews
An examination of the process of British expansion in the lands which bordered the River Plate at a time of war and intense diplomacy between 1836 and 1853, measuring the findings against some of the arguments and assumptions which have underlain the historical debate. It is not a study of the politics and economic development of the Argentine and Uruguayan republics, but it does attempt to explain Britain's behavior toward those states with a due appreciation of their histories.
