Simon Bolivar was a revolutionary who freed six countries, an
intellectual who argued the principles of national liberation, and
a general who fought a cruel colonial war. His life, passions,
battles, and great victories became embedded in Spanish American
culture almost as soon as they happened. This is the first major
English-language biography of "The Liberator" in half a century.
John Lynch draws on extensive research on the man and his era to
tell Bolivar's story, to understand his life in the context of his
own society and times, and to explore his remarkable and enduring
legacy.
The book illuminates the inner world of Bolivar, the dynamics of
his leadership, his power to command, and his modes of ruling the
diverse peoples of Spanish America. The key to his greatness, Lynch
concludes, was supreme will power and an ability to inspire people
to follow him beyond their immediate interests, in some cases
through years of unremitting struggle. Encompassing Bolivar's
entire life and his many accomplishments, this is the definitive
account of a towering figure in the history of the Western
hemisphere.
