520 _a“This new biography of Bolivar succeeds in retelling his amazing life in a manner sure to command anew the interest and sympathy of all sorts of readers . . . with admirable completeness and with stirring vividness.”-Philip Ainsworth Means, N. Y . Times Book Review. “Thomas Rourke . . . has sternly tried . . . to present not only the story of a remarkable individual, but to interpret "that sympathy toward dictatorships which has always been inherent in Latin Americans,’ and warns us ‘how very formidable that danger is in the countries south of us.’ In this complicated task he has succeeded admirably."-Agnes Rothery, N. Y. Herald Tribune Books. “As full of suspense as any novel and as fast moving . . . A biography of a great man, this book is also a very excellent guide to the essential philosophy, the natural attitude toward life and government, of the great continent to the south of us. And because, today, we are more than ever conscious of South America . . . Mr. Rourke’s book is well worth reading, entirely aside from its fascinating‘narrative of the life of an extraordinary man.”-]oseph Henry Jackson, San Francisco Chronicle
