Produktbeschreibung

In this volume of essays on the life and legacy of Simón Bolívar, a distinguished group of historians takes a fresh look at the impact of "the Liberator" as warrior, political thinker and leader, internationalist, continentalist, reformer, and revolutionary. A balanced yet critical appraisal of Bolívar's role in the Spanish American wars of independence, this in-depth collection offers a persuasive explanation of why the Bolívarian legend and cult has persisted.
