{"product_id":"simon-bolivar-a-life-9780300126044","title":"Simon Bolivar: A Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eSimn Bolvar was a revolutionary who freed six countries  an intellectual who argued the principles of national liberation  and a general who fought a cruel colonial war. His life  passions  battles  and great victories became embedded in Spanish American culture almost as soon as they happened. This is the first major English-language biography of The Liberator in half a century. John Lynch draws on extensive research on the man and his era to tell Bolvars story  to understand his life in the context of his own society and times  and to explore his remarkable and enduring legacy. The book illuminates the inner world of Bolvar  the dynamics of his leadership  his power to command  and his modes of ruling the diverse peoples of Spanish America. The key to his greatness  Lynch concludes  was supreme will power and an ability to inspire people to follow him beyond their immediate interests  in some cases through years of unremitting struggle. Encompassing Bolvars entire life and his many accomplishments  this is the definitive account of a towering figure in the history of the Western hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67904717029429,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300126042","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300126044.jpg?v=1793850828","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/simon-bolivar-a-life-9780300126044","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
