John   Lynch
In the first full English-language biography of San MartÃ­n in more than half a century, John Lynch shines new light on San MartÃ­n and on the story of Spanish Americaâ€™s revolutionary wars. Lynch offers a series of dramatic set pieces: the Peninsular War, in which San MartÃ­n fought the French and learned his military skills; the crossing of the Andes, when his army battled the forces of nature as well as enemy fire; the confrontation with imperial Spain in Peru; and the standoff with BolÃ­var which led to San MartÃ­nâ€™s resignation and exile in Europe. Based on the latest documentation, San MartÃ­n enhances our understanding of the modern history of Latin America and one of its most brilliant leaders.
