Description

Between 1864 and 1870 four nations fought in an extraordinarily bloody war – the largest in the history of South The united states. The powerhouses Argentina and Brazil alongside tiny Uruguay on one side, and the small but more and more-powerful Paraguay on the other, fought a conflict that used to be almost up to date with the American Civil War and Franco-Prussian War, and rivalled their very high casualty rates. The aftermath of the war saw defeated Paraguay’s territory diminished, its total population reduced by a staggering 70 per cent, and its economy ruined for generations, whilst victorious Brazil used to be established as the predominant military power on the continent. Regardless of the unusual ferocity of the fighting and the significant historical consequences thereafter, little has been published in English on a war that shaped the political map of Latin The united states to at the present time.

This title book in some an important gaps by telling the story of the men who fought on both sides, the use of up to date paintings, prints, and rare early photographs combined with detailed research and engaging analysis.
