Books by Robert Harvey

Liberators: Latin America's struggle for independence 1810-1830
This surely ought to be essential reading for anyone travelling to Central or South America today. Harvey recounts tales of adventure, courage and passion of seven larger-than-life heroes who led the continent to freedom from Spanish and Portuguese domination at the turn of the nineteenth century. Despite their ultimate success, all seven were to die in pathetic or tragic circumstances. However their stories give us a far clearer understanding of the geo-politics of the region.
(Jeremy Miller - bwl 67 Winter 2013)
