Simon Bolivar: Liberation and Disappointment (Library of World Biography Series) (Library of World Biography)

1 review
David Bushnell

Longman, 2003

Readable, and a good guide to what else to read
This was a barely average book from a readers stand point. The story of the life of Simon Bolivar was quite interesting, but the author seemed bound and determined to sedate this excitable tale down to a sleepy murmur.

The Making of Modern Colombia: A Nation in Spite of Itself

10 reviews
David Bushnell

University of California Press, 1993

Much more than drugs and violence
This is the best English language history of Colombia available. It follows the history of the country, from its disjointed past to its integrated yet violent present. Bushnell joins traditional "great man" history with current "socieconomic" and "cultural" history. He expresses unqualified admiration for Carlos Lleras Restrepo, and has good things to say about Rafael Nunez, Rafael Reyes, ...

The Emergence of Latin America in the Nineteenth Century

2 reviews
David Bushnell, Neill MacAulay

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

Very broad span
A succinct coverage of an entire region, and over a period of a century. More than just South America. The authors also survey Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. By necessity, therefore, coverage is sparse for the smaller countries. But the authors have done well, in bringing out the main historical trends, and to place these in the context of changes across the region. Like the briefly ...
