Blurb: 
The setting is Argentina in the late 1960s, and the political unrest there is paralleled to unrest in the United States during the same period. "El Yanqui" is an exchange student from Long Island who leaves behind his aimless Sixties lifestyle to enjoy the benefits of a new country, a wealthy family, and good friends. But his new life comes to an end as his escapades in Argentina culminate in arrest for political reasons and his brother Harry returns home from Vietnam psychologically scarred.
