564 pages - In English Bartolom? Mitre, in spite of his manifold
occupations as politician and statesman, journalist and writer,
worked strenuously the biography and significance of general Jos?
de San Martin. His preface is dated at the jail in Lujan in March
1875, during his incarceration and trial accused of having led a
rebellion against the national government. As a matter of fact the
three volumes long final version appeared in 1887, an amplification
and completion of the original text published in the "La Naci?n"
newspaper ob Buenos Aires twelve years before. Mitre expected this
work to be, along with his writings about Manuel Belgrano published
some years before, the basis of a clear vision on the origins of
Argentina, supported by a solid foundation of documents and a
serious and scientific methodology. In 1890, before travelling to
Europe, general Bartolom? Mitre asked William Pilling to publish in
London an English translation of his "History of San Martin,"
authorising the translator to condense the text, if necessary.
William Pilling's book is an accurate expression of the sense and
content of the work by Mitre, and constitutes an excellent
contribution to the historiography of the independentist revolution
in Latin America. This edition is based upon the original Pilling
English version, a successful sinthesis of this classic argentine
historiographic text.
