Very nice, current book on Paraguay. As it's not a well-known country, often books are hopelessly outdated or just scratch the surface of what Paraguay really is (more than the 2nd poorest country in South America!)

This is definitely biased and very preachy. As I read things with the kids to study these countries, I don't want obvious bias. I really would prefer having an author simply present the facts without preaching.
