Details

From the publisher

Ben Hughes is an ESOL and EFL Lecturer. After graduating from Leeds University in 1997, he spent several years teaching and traveling throughout South America. His passion for the continent and a lifelong interest in the Napoleonic era led him to this project. He now lives in North London with his Colombian wife.

Media reviews

"This is a blood-and-thunder tale... The numerous battle descriptions are extremely detailed, vivid, suspenseful and in some cases, horrifying. The demands upon men, animals and logistics of such chaotic warfare were extreme. Readers will wonder at the availability of such comprehensive source material. Who took notes, who wrote the dispatches in such fast-moving action in such primitive conditions?" - David C. Acheson, The Washington Times

"The book is a chronicle of hardship, deadly sea voyages, disease, wild animals, mutiny, brutal primitive warfare, frequent betrayal and desertion... Hughes has shed light on a little-known epic, on which no major non-fiction book has focused in almost a century." - Stephen Frater, Hearld Tribune

"Historian Ben Hughes’s detailed explications, with notes, bibliography and index, add rigor to his portraits of colorful characters such as the Scots merchant James Hamilton who strode about the jungle in full highland dress." - Zara Raab, Sacramento Book Review
