The author is a graduate of Yale and a scholar of Latin American history. He uses his vast knowledge of South American history to weave fact & fiction into a fasination account of a true "American" hero.
In the author's note at the beginning of the book Boyd explains he uses historial documents and official archives for his personalities and actions. To that end, the dialogue in this book is excellent. It brings Simon Bolivar to life and makes this book a great read.
I am not sure I got a better idea of how Simon Bolivar was with this book. It could have better written and focused more on the history this great man accomplished. For young boys interested in history, this book may have some appeal. However for the serious historian, they should look elsewhere for readings on the Great Liberator.
