José de San Martín
A biography of the Argentinian general who was instrumental in liberating South America from Spanish rule in the early 19th century.
San Martín
A vivid exploration of the life and times of Jos de San Mart n, legendary liberator of Chile and Peru Jos de San Mart n (1778-1850) was an enigmatic figure--a revolutionary and a conservative, a professional soldier and an intellectual, a taciturn man who nevertheless was able to inspire the peoples of South America to follow his armies and accept his battle strategies. One of the great leaders in the wars for independence, he was a pivotal force in the liberation of Chile and Peru from Spanish rule. In the first full English-language biography of San Mart n in more than half a century, John Lynch shines new light on San Mart n and on the story of Spanish America's revolutionary wars. Lynch ...

Conoce a Jos de San Martn / Get to Know Jos de San Martn
Jos de San Martn is the Libertador of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. He was born in the Americas to Spanish parents and returned with his family to Spain when he was only six years old. Even though he was only a little boy when he left the Americas, his love for the country of his birth was so strong that he abandoned a brilliant military career in Spain to join his countrymen in the war for Independence.
Captain of the Andes
One of the military leaders of South America's long fight for independence from Spain, Argentinean general Jos de San Martn (1778-1850) is not well known outside Spanish-speaking lands. But his revolutionary spirit and legend as a great hero of Argentina-and of all of South America-makes him a brother in courage and character to the likes of George Washington. First published in 1943, this is one of the very few biographies of the general and political leader in the English language. A lost classic and hard to find in print in an elegant edition, it covers San Martn's childhood in Spain, his early adventures in Peru, the bloody battles of the war to throw off Spanish control of South America, and much more.

The Emancipation of South America
One of the earliest significant works on historiography of Argentina, The Emancipation of South America, delivers a true and precise biography of San Martin, a great military commander, and one of the Liberators of Spanish South America who was regarded as a national hero of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Since Martin's life could not be understood unless a complete narrative of the events, he took part in during that period was provided, this work becomes a powerful portrayal of the history of Argentina. The Emancipation of South America is a translation of Bartolomé Mitre's Historia de San Martín y de la emancipación Sudamericana, by William Pilling. In 1892, Pilling wrote from London to Mitre. In his letter, Pilling informed Mitre that to catch the public's attention, he had changed the title, using the actual subtitle instead. In his opinion, "The Emancipation of South America" was somewhat more appealing to English readers than "History of San Martin." Pilling's translation is a precise presentation of the sense and content of the work by Mitre. It comprises a brilliant contribution to the historiography of the independentist revolution in Latin America.
