Biographical Sketches from the Paraguayan War - 1864-1870

The Paraguayan War, also known as the War of the Triple Alliance, raged for over five years; pitting Paraguay against the alliance of the Republics of Argentina and Uruguay and the Empire of Brazil. Between its loss of territory and the deaths of sixty percent of its population, the war left Paraguay devastated for generations. The Allies emerged from their victory exhausted and with societies profoundly changed by the experience of the war. This book provides brief biographies of significant players in the tragedy that was the Paraguayan War. As in any epic, the Warâ€™s dramatis personÃ¦ include heroes and villains, the colorful and the subdued. Many of those who survived the conflict went on to important post-war careers. Many of those who did not survive are still remembered by their countrymen for their courage and devotion.
