Bolívar: American Liberator by Marie AranaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm glad I read this book, since I knew next to nothing about Bolivar, and he seems to be an oddly neglected conqueror and leader. All in all this was very new and enlightening to me. I was amazed at how involved Europeans and Americans were with everything as well. And pretty much by definition this is also a history of the origins of many of South America's countries.
There were many fascinating characters, but I would especially like to know more about Boves, who seems repulsive but also oddly fascinating. I would also like to read more about Jose de San Martin.
