Bolívar by Marie Arana
American Liberator
A sweeping, fast-paced portrait of the Venezuelan revolutionary who helped free much of South America from Spanish rule, tracing his privileged upbringing, Enlightenment inspirations, audacious crossings of the Andes, and hard-won victories, alongside the political intrigues, fragile coalitions, personal passions, and mounting disillusionment that shadowed his attempt to forge new republics, culminating in the rise and unraveling of Gran Colombia and a complicated legacy that still reverberates across the region.
