Description

Bolívar: American Liberator is a sweeping biography that brings to life the epic story of Simón Bolívar, the legendary South American general and statesman who freed six countries from Spanish rule. With a wealth of primary documents, Marie Arana vividly captures the early nineteenth-century South America that shaped Bolívar's remarkable life.

From the online marketplace jungles to the Andes mountains, Bolívar's journey was marked by heroism, tragedy, and legend. This major work of history not only portrays a dramatic life in all its glory but also declares what it means to be South American. With a deep understanding of Bolívar's complexities, Arana presents a bold and passionate portrait of a man who defied conventions and forged a new path for his continent.
