Scholars seeking to delve into deeper issues and greater analysis will find this volume a useful and reliable reference for further research. The book raises many questions that should be taken up by other researchers.

Laffaye also mentions the existence of several female polo teams in the 1920s, a fact that will intrigue gender historians working on women’s presence in male-dominated sports. Polo in Argentina achieves its purpose by providing the reader with numerous facts, relevant figures, and interesting information about the birth and development of polo in a country well known for its excellence at this sport.
