The Chaco War was Latin America's first "modern" conflict; it saw the use of the latest 20th-century military innovations, by armies that had learned some of the lessons - but that repeated some of the mistakes - of World War I. Motor vehicles, tanks, and aircraft were all employed, and some had an effect on the war; however, it was the infantry who bore the brunt of the harsh conditions, not only of combat but also of the extreme environment of the Gran Chaco region. Their experience of this war had an impact in their respective countries in the decades that followed. In a book of this size the scope for detail is obviously limited, but it is hoped that it will serve as a primer for those wishing to learn more about one of Latin America's bloodiest wars, as well as providing a general reference guide for those wanting quick answers on general topics.
