Latin America

Latin America is the theater of human history. The worst and the best exist side by side. This group of countries, each with its own past, culture and identity, illustrates both the most sublime ideals of freedom and generosity, and the horrors of slavery, genocide, dictatorship and bitter class struggle.
At the heart of this region, we find selfless liberators, usually sacrificed for the most sordid interests. How many men and women gave their blood and their lives so that the ideal of freedom might live on? Their vision of a united and free Latin America continues to inspire generations of souls around the world.
The history of Latin America illustrates the struggle of heroes for social justice and the rights of the most humble. Their efforts to improve the lives of their people have left an indelible imprint on the souls of their homelands.
Latin America has been the scene of struggles for civil rights and democracy, with leaders who sought to bring about social reforms only to be toppled in brutal coups d'état, often backed by the United States. Moments of triumph alternate with periods of despair in a history of political turmoil and passion.
This book explores the glorious and dark histories of all these nations, highlighting the triumphs and trials that shaped their destinies. The book invites readers to reflect on the universal values of freedom, justice and humanity, while confronting them with the dark realities of history.
This book, in which we discover man's capacity to stand up against oppression, resist injustice and pursue the eternal quest for human dignity, is dedicated to the courage so lacking in the West today.
