De los desajustes sociales que provocan las guerras hasta las acciones que pueden desarrollarse en la escuela y que posibilitan la creación de unas actitudes positivas en el alumnado.
Este es un libro polémico, dirigido contra los calumniadores del Libertador Simón Bolívar. Es la obra póstuma del recientemente desaparecido historiador cubano Jorge Ibarra Cuesta.

Earning glory on the fields of battle, Simón Bolívar (1783–1830) was one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of Latin American history.

National organization saw the emergence of new political leaders, the caudillos , and the marginalization of many people who sought relief in popular religion and millenarian movements.
