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.

-
Written by well known historians. . . . This edited book fills a gap, particularly for those who teach colonial Latin American histories.
