The Paraguayan War, also known as the War of the Triple Alliance, raged for over five years; pitting Paraguay against the alliance of the Republics of Argentina and Uruguay and the Empire of Brazil. Between its loss of territory and the deaths of sixty percent of its population, the war left Paraguay devastated for generations. The Allies emerged from their victory exhausted and with societies profoundly changed by the experience of the war. This book provides brief biographies of significant players in the tragedy that was the Paraguayan War. As in any epic, the War's dramatis personæ include heroes and villains, the colorful and the subdued. Many of those who survived the conflict went on to important post-war careers. Many of those who did not survive are still remembered by their countrymen for their courage and devotion.

The Paraguayan War (1864–70) was the most extensive and profound interstate war ever fought in South America. It directly involved the four countries of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay and took the lives of hundreds of thousands, combatants and noncombatants alike. While the war still stirs emotions on the southern continent, until today few scholars from outside the region have taken on the daunting task of analyzing the conflict. In this compilation of ten essays, historians from Canada, the United States, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay address its many tragic complexities. Each scholar examines a particular facet of the war, including military mobilization, home-front activities, the war’s effects on political culture, war photography, draft resistance, race issues, state formation, and the role of women in the war. The editors’ introduction provides a balance to the many perspectives collected here while simultaneously integrating them into a comprehensible whole, thus making the book a compelling read for social historians and military buffs alike.

In the tradition of the hectic heroes from Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe and The Last Kingdom, comes Frontiers of Fire. A historical novel bursting with valor and vengeance in the heart of the South-American marshes. Inspired by true events. Luis Caetano thought it was his last week as a lieutenant at the remote Fort of Coimbra. He believed that after the New Year of 1865, he would return home to reunite with his father and little sister on the idyllic 3-Estados farm. But the Paraguayan fleet appeared on the horizon, and the lieutenant saw he was wrong. Terribly wrong. Now, instead of waltzes and violins, he must dance at the sound of cannons, the taste of agony, and the sight of splitting bones. Luis and his daring native soldiers will form a desperate resistance to delay the massive enemy. To buy time to evacuate civilians, they will put their lives at stake. One last stand encircled in the middle of nowhere, with no hopes of aid or extra ammo. Nearby, a man watches the deadly struggle of the 155 besieged Brazilians against a crushing force of 3500 invaders. He is the smuggler Gaspar from Corrientes. A citizen from a neutral state, his only worry is how the conflict may trouble his business. This war is not his war—or at least he thought so. But fate and the call of duty will bring them together, in an unlikely alliance, to survive against a cold-blooded, vast, and merciless enemy. The odds are heavily stacked against them, and the obstacles are beyond their imagination.

Representing a unique reference tool for readers interested in history, criminology, or terrorism, this book provides the most complete and up-to-date coverage of assassinations of key figures throughout history and around the world. Effecting the death of a political figure, a leader of a nation, or a public figure usually captures people's attention. But how often is assassination effective to achieve the larger objective beyond the death of the targeted individual? Famous Assassinations in World History: An Encyclopedia offers more than 200 entries on assassinations of all kinds that will allow readers to grasp the often-complex motivating factors behind each event and better understand historical and contemporary social unrest. Each entry identifies the assassination target and summarizes that person's significance; discusses the person's assassination, including the factors that led up to it and its political and cultural contexts; and explains the powerful effects of the assassination in world history. The encyclopedia also includes various sidebars that spotlight relevant individuals, groups, and movements and present intriguing factoids such as the final disposition of notorious assassins' weapons and various films and novels that were inspired by famous assassinations. In addition, 23 primary source documents provide accounts of assassinations throughout world history.
