Books like The Spanish American Revolutions 1808-26 by John Lynch


Spanish America was engulfed for nearly two decades in revolutions for independence that were sudden, violent, and universal. This book, by John Lynch, provides a brilliant survey of the men and movements during these critical years. It traces the forces of independence as they gathered momentum and spread across the subcontinent in two great waves, culminating in the events that eventually turned into counterrevolutions. In the second edition, Lynch adds a section on Central America and incorporates the latest work being done on the origins and aftermaths of these revolutions. The book is aimed at readers interested in history, and is suitable for both readers and students.
