Simon Bolivar and the South American Wars of Independence Hendrik Peters

The book provides an overview of Simon Bolivar's life and the development of the South American wars of independence in which he was directly involved. Due to his role in the independence movement of several South American and Caribbean states, Simon Bolivar is still considered a national hero of those nations. It is therefore not surprising that his ideological stance is taken up in speeches around the world and reproduced in the form of quotations.
