Description

This volume of readings examines the revolutions, civil wars, guerrilla struggles, insurgencies, counter-insurgencies, and interventions of this period. Offering a solid perspective on the Independence period, The Wars of Independence is an excellent text for Latin American survey courses and courses focusing on the colonial era.

Reviews

Archer has ably translated major articles and documents, originally written in Spanish, which greatly enrich the volume. . . . The Wars of Independence is an indispensable text for courses on Latin America, wars of liberation, and the military. -- Linda Alexander Rodgrguez, University of California, Los Angeles
Written by well known historians. . . . This edited book fills a gap, particularly for those who teach colonial Latin American histories. * Book Notes *
