Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the causes of the breakdown in the relationship between then-elected Venezuelan president General Josà Tadeo Monagas and General Josà Antonio Paez, a hero of the South American wars of independence. The author draws upon extensive historical research to analyze the events that led to General Paez, a supporter of Venezuelan independence and democracy, to wage a military campaign against the man he helped elect to office. The bookâs meticulous analysis of the correspondence, accounts, and primary documents of the time illuminates how the breakdown in their relationship reflected a broader struggle between authoritarianism and democracy in Venezuela and Latin America at the time. It demonstrates how the rupture between the two generals is a case study in the challenge of balancing the need for order with the desire for liberty, a struggle that resonates in many places today.
