Description:The Narraci�n, or narrative, of the Memorias of Daniel Florencio O'Leary has long been recognized by Spanish American scholars as one of the most important historical sources for a major part of Bol�var's life. O'Leary took an active part in the wars for independence, first as a young officer, recruited in the British Isles to aid the patriot cause, and later as Bol�var's chief aide, often entrusted with diplomatic missions. His firsthand knowledge of the stirring events of the period, his access to relevant documents, and his close association with the major figures in the struggle, as well as his friendship with Bol�var, made O'Leary a particularly valuable chronicler and biographer. Bol�var himself, shortly before his death, requested that O'Leary write the story of his life.O'Leary's meticulous attention to military and diplomatic maneuvers and his keen, sometimes acrid, comments on both men and events give the reader not only a vivid portrait of Bol�var--the man and his achievements--but also a remarkable insight into O'Leary's own position as an autocratic-minded participant in the wars for independence. Although O'Leary's devotion to, and admiration for, his Chief make for an occasionally partisan view, his stark account of the hardships and disappointments that Bol�var and his armies overcame against almost impossible odds does much to balance the narrative.In his abridged translation, Robert McNerney has omitted the Ap�ndice, documents that O'Leary, had he lived, undoubtedly would have used as the source for completing his account of Bol�var's life. Numerous letters and documents scattered through the original text also have been omitted, leaving a highly readable narrative.]>We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
