Luis Negrón Hernández, editor de PReb.com comenta:, March 28, 2000
This review is from: Puerto Rico's Revolt for Independence: El Grito De Lares (Paperback)
Es sin duda "El Grito de Lares" uno de los acontecimientos que más interés despierta entre los puertorriqueños. Y es ésta la obra a adquirir si usted es uno de ellos. La profesora Olga Jiménez de Wagenheim, basándose mayormente en los expedientes judiciales de los arrestados en la insurrección armada, nos presenta las "caras" de los que conspiraron y se levantaron contra el régimen español (el cura, el zapatero, el esclavo, el hacendado, el jornalero...) en busca de una patria libre para todos los boricuas, sin importar su raza o condición social.

SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT, May 5, 2008
This review is from: Puerto Rico's Revolt for Independence: El Grito De Lares (Paperback)
The author does an outstanding job of telling the story of the events of September 23, 1868, as well as a thorough review of events leading up to it and results of the revolt in the years after. THIS IS MOVIE MATERIAL!
