Description

Provides a through background for Bolívar's "contradictory" life, from his birth into colonial aristocracy to his leadership of a revolution to his tactical alliance with the Roman Catholic Church; addresses many of the principles for which Bolívar fought, such as abolition of slavery and legal equality for all races and social classes; reviews his efforts to obtain a British protectorate over his alliance; places events in the context of the Enlightenment "world," showing the norms and conditions that spurred change; and details the influence Bolívar had on radical movements and events during the course of the revolutions in Latin America and documents the challenges he faced in leading a revolution.
