It is astonishing that Simón Bolívar, the great Liberator of South America, is not better known in the United States. He freed six countries from Spanish rule, traveled more than 75,000 miles on horseback to do so, and became the greatest figure in Latin American history. His life is epic, heroic, straight out of Hollywood: he fought battle after battle in punishing terrain, forged uncertain coalitions of competing forces and races, lost his beautiful wife soon after they married and never remarried (although he did have a succession of mistresses, including one who held up the revolution and another who saved his life), and he died relatively young, uncertain whether his achievements would endure. Drawing on a wealth of primary documents, novelist and journalist Marie Arana brilliantly captures early nineteenth-century South America and the explosive tensions that helped revolutionize Bolívar. In 1813 he launched a campaign for the independence of Colombia and Venezuela, commencing a dazzling career that would take him across the rugged terrain of South America, from Amazon jungles to the Andes mountains. From his battlefield victories to his ill-fated marriage and legendary love affairs, Bolívar emerges as a man of many facets: fearless general, brilliant strategist, consummate diplomat, passionate abolitionist, gifted writer, and flawed politician. A major work of history, Bolívar colorfully portrays a dramatic life even as it explains the rivalries and complications that bedeviled Bolívar’s tragic last days. It is also a stirring declaration of what it means to be a South American.

At this time of writing, The Mobi Bolivar: American Liberator has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

This is one of the best biographies that I've read in my life, if not the very best. I am an admitted South America fanatic, but my knowledge about its history was limited to study of the Inca and Brazil before reading this book. Marie Arana (no tilde on the n?) is an amazingly articulate writer in English, although I'm not sure that English is even her first language! I was gripped by her account of Bolivar's early years and development into a revered hero; his determination to liberate the Andean Region from Spain; his success in building and mobilizing troops back and forth across the Andes and perilous regions in between; his personal picadillo's; Bolivar's post-liberation failures to identify effective leaders and governmental structures that could unify populations; and finally, Bolivar's death in isolation. I also enjoyed the Epilogue that explained how society's perception of Bolivar evolved, and how Hugo Chavez made a travesty of Bolivar in Venezuela. Finally, I even enjoyed Arana's fascinating Acknowledgment. I learned so much and would love to read more from this gifted author! Maybe a book about Ernesto "Che" Guevarra?
