Book excerpt: In Simón Bolívar's book, readers are transported to the tumultuous era of the early 19th century, where one man's indomitable spirit and unwavering vision would forever change the course of history in South America. Simón Bolívar, known as El Libertador, emerges from these pages as a larger-than-life figure, a Venezuelan military and political leader who rose from a privileged upbringing to become the driving force behind the independence movements of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia. Born into a wealthy criollo family, Bolívar's life took a dramatic turn when he lost his parents as a child. Educated abroad and exposed to Enlightenment philosophy, his determination to end Spanish rule in the Americas was solidified during his Grand Tour, culminating in a solemn oath in Rome. Bolívar's journey through the treacherous terrain of South American politics and warfare is vividly recounted, from his early militia service to his exile and friendship with Haitian revolutionary Alexandre Pétion, who provided critical support. Bolívar's epic military campaigns and the birth of new nations are chronicled, with his presidency over the Republic of Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia marking the zenith of his influence. However, as Bolívar's centralist ideology clashed with the evolving political landscape, he found himself increasingly disillusioned. The book delves into the complex legacy of this iconic figure, whose name continues to resonate across Latin America. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of his life, shedding light on the man behind the legend, his enduring impact, and his place in the hearts of nations bearing his name.
Book Synopsis Simón Bolívar by : Lester D. Langley
Download or read book Simón Bolívar written by Lester D. Langley and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-16 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling biography offers a unique perspective on the life and career of one of Latin America's most famous—and most adulated—historical figures. Departing from the conventional, narrow treatment of Bolívar's role in the Spanish-American wars of independence (1810–1825), leading historian Lester D. Langley frames this remarkable figure as the quintessential Venezuelan rebel, who by circumstance and sheer will rose to be the continent's most noted revolutionary and liberator. In the process, he became both a unifying and a divisive presence whose symbolic influence remains powerful even today. Twice Bolívar gained power, twice he confronted a formidable counterrevolution, twice he was compelled to flee. His ultimate tactic of using slave and mixed-race troops aroused both the admiration and fear of U.S. leaders and became a topic of heated discussion in the critical debates of 1817 and 1818 over U.S. policy toward the Spanish-American wars as well as the arguments over the admission of Missouri as a state in 1820–1821 and the U.S. decision to participate in the ill-fated Congress of Panama. Although he earned the sobriquet of the "George Washington" of South America, Bolívar in victory became more conservative and critical of the democratic tide of the era. Unlike Washington, Bolívar was forced into exile, the victim of his own ambitions and the fears of others. In his tragic end, he symbolized the glorious warrior so consumed by his own ambition and hatreds that he was destroyed. In death, he became a cult figure whose life and meaning casts a long shadow over modern Venezuelan history. As the author convincingly explains, he remains the most relevant figure of the revolutionary age in the Americas.

Download or read book Bolívar’s Afterlife in the Americas written by Robert T. Conn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simón Bolívar is the preeminent symbol of Latin America and the subject of seemingly endless posthumous attention. Interpreted and reinterpreted in biographies, histories, political writings, speeches, and works of art and fiction, he has been a vehicle for public discourse for the past two centuries. Robert T. Conn follows the afterlives of Bolívar across the Americas, tracing his presence in a range of competing but interlocking national stories. How have historians, writers, statesmen, filmmakers, and institutions reworked his life and writings to make cultural and political claims? How has his legacy been interpreted in the countries whose territories he liberated, as well as in those where his importance is symbolic, such as the United States? In answering these questions, Conn illuminates the history of nation building and hemispheric globalism in the Americas.

Book Synopsis Simón Bolívar's Quest for Glory by : Richard W. Slatta
Download or read book Simón Bolívar's Quest for Glory written by Richard W. Slatta and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-25 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earning glory on the fields of battle, Simón Bolívar (1783–1830) was one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of Latin American history. Most North Americans know little of "the Liberator" who freed South America from Spanish rule from 1810 to 1826. Richard W. Slatta and Jane Lucas De Grummond bring forth the entire life and legacy of Simón Bolívar, with special attention to the ups and the downs of his military career in Bolívar's Quest for Glory. Bolívar'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. He exhibited both military leadership and foolhardiness. Egomaniacal, he strived for military might and political power. The tragedy of his life and his political legacy remain hotly debated, but no one would deny this man's historical significance. Drawing from an immense corpus of writings left behind by Bolívar, his allies, and his enemies, the authors transport the reader back to the life and times of the Liberator, introducing lesser known people who fought on both sides of the conflict and showing how Bolívar did not win Spanish American independence all on his own. Voices of the past ring from this rich narrative—expressions of admiration for Bolívar's courage, leadership, and vision, as well as proclamations of the leader's failures and weaknesses. The first ever biography to suggest that Bolívar suffered from bipolar disorder, Bolívar's Quest for Glory treads new ground and shows how the conflicts he faced during the independence era set a political pattern followed by much of Latin America for the next century. Scholars and fans of military history, anyone interested in the development of modern Latin America, and readers of great biography will all welcome this book.
Book Synopsis The Delirium of the Liberator by : Luis Alberto Villamarín Pulido
Download or read book The Delirium of the Liberator written by Luis Alberto Villamarín Pulido and published by Luis Villamarin. This book was released on 2006 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numbers speak for themselves. During his life as politician and warrior, General Simon Bolívar went over a distance that surpassed in 123,000 kilometers; the land journeyed by Christopher Columbus and Vasco de Gamma together. And while General Bolívar covered the non-uniform stretch, he spread the ideas of the freedom, on a length equivalent to one and a half of the Earth’s diameter, that is the same to say, ten times more than the land journeyed by Hannibal Barca and the triple of the space walked by Alexander the Great. In spite of the tenacious resistance of Royalist troops, during the successful military campaigns of El Bajo Magdalena and Admirable, in less than six months, dated between the endings of 1812 and the beginnings of 1813, Simon Bolívar crossed triumphantly over, all the ramifications of La Cordillera de los Andes in Colombia and Venezuela. Neither before, nor later, none known military man in the history of the humanity, achieved so many success in a so ample space, during a so brief lapse. Like statesman Simon Bolívar headed four constituent congresses over and built the legal, political, economic and social bases of six republics. Like a soldier, he participated in fourteen military campaigns, he directed more than four hundred battles, and with sweeping leadership, he commanded more than one million of soldiers from diverse nationalities. Similar facts happened during the Liberating Campaign of La Nueva Granada in 1819, initiated with uncertainty in los Llanos de Setenta in Venezuela, and it successfully culminated four months later at the South of Tunja City, in the bridge on Teatinos River. In spite of the calculated obstacles laid by General Santander in Santa Fe, the foolish regional leaders’ ambitions in Venezuela, and the intrigues wrapped in Perú, in less than a year, General Simon Bolívar freed to Perú and founded to Bolivia. During the same period, he summoned a Pan-American Congress, and until he glided to go to fight against Spain´s loyal Royalists in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Spain. In this order of ideas, The Delirium of the Liberator, examines the biographical chronology of the well-called Genius of America, neither from the moved away surroundings of the myth, nor from erratic passion of bad politicians, but from the clear reality of an exceptional human being, full of vitality and positive mind, solved to make specific a transcendental intention, without concerning the difficulties and circumstances of way, time and place. Without a doubt, this is his greater legacy.
