Captain of the Andes is a comprehensive biography of Jose de San Martin, the legendary liberator of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Written by Margaret H. Harrison, the book chronicles San Martin's life from his humble beginnings in Argentina to his rise as a military leader and strategist in the wars of independence that swept across South America in the early 19th century. Harrison delves into San Martin's military career, exploring his pivotal role in the battles of Chacabuco and Maipu, which secured Chile's independence from Spain. She also examines his successful campaigns in Peru, where he defeated Spanish forces and established a new government. Beyond his military achievements, Harrison also explores San Martin's personal life and political beliefs, shedding light on his motivations and the challenges he faced in his quest for independence. She examines his relationships with other key figures of the era, including Simon Bolivar and Bernardo O'Higgins, and provides insights into the political and social context of South America during this turbulent period. Overall, Captain of the Andes offers a fascinating and detailed portrait of one of South America's most important historical figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the region, the struggles for independence, and the legacy of Jose de San Martin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
