Francisco Solano López and the Ruination of Paraguay: Honor

Francisco Solano López and the Ruination of Paraguay: Honor and Egocentrism (Latin American Silhouettes)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The first serious biography of Francisco Solano LÃ³pez in English for decades, this richly researched book tells the dramatic story of Paraguay's most notorious ruler. Despite the heroic stature he gained after his death, LÃ³pez was a monumentally flawed leader who made the disastrous decisions in 1864 and 1865 to invade Brazil and Argentina, initiating the most devastating interstate conflict in South American history. Drawing on a trove of primary sources, James Saeger offers a critical analysis of Paraguayan politics and LÃ³pez's life and erratic rule in this meticulous study.
