Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paraguayan War, also known as the War of the Triple Alliance, raged for over five years; pitting Paraguay against the alliance of the Republics of Argentina and Uruguay and the Empire of Brazil. Between its loss of territory and the deaths of sixty percent of its population, the war left Paraguay devastated for generations. The Allies emerged from their victory exhausted and with societies profoundly changed by the experience of the war. This book provides brief biographies of significant players in the tragedy that was the Paraguayan War. As in any epic, the War's dramatis personæ include heroes and villains, the colorful and the subdued. Many of those who survived the conflict went on to important post-war careers. Many of those who did not survive are still remembered by their countrymen for their courage and devotion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in Paraguay: With a Historical Sketch of the Country and Its People and Notes Upon the Military Engineering of the War The contradictory views of the conduct and character of President Lopez, taken by those who have felt an interest in the struggle between the Paraguayans and the Allied Powers opposed to them, have led me to think that a short work, written by one who has resided eleven years in Paraguay, might not be unacceptable. Having been engaged in the defence of the country, I am enabled to give authentic information on the subject. As will be seen from the following narrative, I consider Lopez to be a monster without a parallel, but I did not discover his character before the latter end of 1868. All his outrages at the commencement of the war I only heard by vague rumours. His manner, however, was such as entirely to dispel and throw discredit on any whispers which might be uttered against him. Latterly, however, I have received overwhelming corroborations of what I have stated against him in the early part of the book. The mode in which President Lopez began the war on the Argentines was outrageous, but with Brazil war was apparently unavoidable; and had he not commenced the war when he did, Brazil would have taken Paraguay at a disadvantage. My personal motives for taking a part in the war were not, however, so much political as physical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

These bodies were not decomposed, but completely mummified, the skin having dried on to the bones, and the bodies looking tawny and thin. The ground was everywhere covered with bullets, cannon-balls, arms, cartouche-boxes, &c., and in some places the trees in the woods were riddled with rifle-bullets. We went through the woods into the Potrero Piris, in the centre of which there was a Brazilian mounted scout, who however did not see anything, and down the Yurui into the wood again, at the point, whence we could see everything, being only 500 yards from the Brazilian trenches. The Brazilians noticed something particular in the woods close by them, and immediately collected their cattle, thinking it was a cattle-lifting party, from which they had suffered a great deal. They did not, however, fire at us, and the party, among whom were Generals Diaz and Aquino, returned through the open--the enemy's scouts watching all the time, but not firing, as we had an escort of fifty riflemen. I reported that the trench was practicable, and Lopez determined to have it dug at once. The same night, accordingly, all the spades, shovels, and picks in the army, amounting to about 700, were sent down to Sauce, and the 6th and 7th Battalions (which had made the earthworks of the railway, and the trench of Humaita) were told off to do the work. The greatest silence was enjoined on the men, lest they should let their spades and arms clank, as the enemy would inevitably hear them. A hundred men were posted in skirmishing order, twenty yards from the lino to be dug, to cover the work; and in order better to see anyone approaching, they lay down on their stomachs. In some places they were so mixed up with the corpses, that it was impossible to tell which was which...

This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of the hectic heroes from Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe and The Last Kingdom, comes Frontiers of Fire. A historical novel bursting with valor and vengeance in the heart of the South-American marshes. Inspired by true events. Luis Caetano thought it was his last week as a lieutenant at the remote Fort of Coimbra. He believed that after the New Year of 1865, he would return home to reunite with his father and little sister on the idyllic 3-Estados farm. But the Paraguayan fleet appeared on the horizon, and the lieutenant saw he was wrong. Terribly wrong. Now, instead of waltzes and violins, he must dance at the sound of cannons, the taste of agony, and the sight of splitting bones. Luis and his daring native soldiers will form a desperate resistance to delay the massive enemy. To buy time to evacuate civilians, they will put their lives at stake. One last stand encircled in the middle of nowhere, with no hopes of aid or extra ammo. Nearby, a man watches the deadly struggle of the 155 besieged Brazilians against a crushing force of 3500 invaders. He is the smuggler Gaspar from Corrientes. A citizen from a neutral state, his only worry is how the conflict may trouble his business. This war is not his war—or at least he thought so. But fate and the call of duty will bring them together, in an unlikely alliance, to survive against a cold-blooded, vast, and merciless enemy. The odds are heavily stacked against them, and the obstacles are beyond their imagination.

Book Synopsis Francisco Solano López and the Ruination of Paraguay by : James Schofield Saeger
Download or read book Francisco Solano López and the Ruination of Paraguay written by James Schofield Saeger and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first serious biography of Francisco Solano López in English for decades, this richly researched book tells the dramatic story of Paraguay's most notorious ruler. Despite the heroic stature he gained after his death, López was a monumentally flawed leader who made the disastrous decisions in 1864 and 1865 to invade Paraguay's powerful neighbors, Brazil and Argentina, initiating the most devastating interstate conflict in South American history. Drawing on a trove of primary sources, James Schofield Saeger offers a critical analysis of López's personality and often-irrational persecution of enemies, adherents, and siblings. He traces López's preparation for high public office, work habits, control of his nation and army, propaganda, and execution. Concluding with an examination of López's posthumous rehabilitation, Saeger shows how the tyrant who ruined his nation became its most highly honored hero, crowning a campaign by revisionist publicists from 1870–1936, and a useful symbol for later authoritarians. Still largely unchallenged in Paraguay today, this glorification of a martial president is definitively put to rest in Saeger's meticulous study.

Book excerpt: Weep, Grey Bird, Weep is the story of the most extraordinary love story of the 19th century, set against the background of the most disastrous war ever fought. The war saw the tiny republic of Paraguay fighting against the combined forces of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. By the time the war ended, in March 1870, Paraguay's population had been reduced by more than half, and 80 per cent of the male population had been killed. Paraguay's leader in this war was Francisco Solano Lopez and by his side was his devoted lover, a girl from Ireland called Eliza Lynch. He was killed on the last day of the war and she buried him and their eldest son, who died trying to protect her, with her bare hands.

Book Synopsis Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil by : Hendrik Kraay
Download or read book Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil written by Hendrik Kraay and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil introduces recent Brazilian scholarship to English-language readers, providing fresh perspectives on newspaper and periodical culture in the Brazilian empire from 1822 to 1889. Through a multifaceted exploration of the periodical press, contributors to this volume offer new insights into the workings of Brazilian power, culture, and public life. Collectively arguing that newspapers are contested projects rather than stable recordings of daily life, individual chapters demonstrate how the periodical press played a prominent role in creating and contesting hierarchies of race, gender, class, and culture. Contributors challenge traditional views of newspapers and magazines as mechanisms of state- and nation-building. Rather, the scholars in this volume view them as integral to current debates over the nature of Brazil. Including perspectives from Brazil’s leading scholars of the periodical press, this volume will be the starting point for future scholarship on print culture for years to come.
