Earning glory on the fields of battle, Simon Bolivar, who fought to
free South America from Spanish rule from 1810 to 1826, was one of
the most influential figures in Latin American history. Richard W.
Slatta and Jane Lucas De Grummond bring forth the entire story of
Bolivar, with special attention to the ups and the downs of his
military career. Bolivar's life contained all the makings of an
epic war hero: repeated comebacks from defeat, flashes of military
genius, tremendous mood swings, dogged persistence, a near-manic
quest for glory, and fall from political grace. Egomaniacal, he
strived for military might and political power. Drawing from an
immense corpus of writings left behind by Bolivar, his allies, and
his enemies, the authors transport the reader back to the life and
times of "the Liberator." The first biography to suggest that
Bolivar suffered from bipolar disorder, Simon Bolivar's Quest for
Glory shows how the conflicts he faced during the independence era
set a political pattern followed by much of Latin America for the
next century.
