San Martin Papers

Documentation included in this truly significant book will enable professors, students, diplomats & political scientists gain a better understanding of the extraordinary life & deeds of the Argentine Jose de SAN MARTIN. His contributions to the emancipation of South America are significant for research in a hitherto much neglected area of English-language scholarship. According to Enrique CANDIOTI, former ambassador to the United States this book is not merely a timely & useful historic contribution to a better understanding of Latin American history, but it is also a serious academic effort to let the Argentine Liberator portray himself in his own seductive words.
