"I am fascinated by Simon Bolivar. Thanks to my Euro-Centric Education I learned so very little about Latin America. This man is the Founding Father of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Boliva (which was named after him). He was like all the American Founding Fathers wrapped up into one person. Hard to believe, but it is true. He had the Brains of Madison, Stature of Washington, Charisma of Hamilton, Tenacity of John Adams, and Prose of Jefferson. He had a dream of creating the Republic of Greater Colombia, which he achieved temporarily, but alas the inhabitants didn't share his dream and in the end he saw his dream crumble. After much disillusionment he believed the Latin Americans weren't enlightened enough yet for a Republic and would need dictators to raise them out of their ignorant state."
"Fantastic biography. Shows what a brilliant, selfless general Bolivar was, but also shows up his less than politically correct views on race and democracy without judging. Go John Lynch!"
