This book offers a firsthand account of the tumultuous birth of the Republic of Colombia, encompassing the struggles, political machinations, and societal dynamics that shaped this pivotal period in South American history. The author, deeply involved in the fight for liberty on both sides of the Atlantic, served alongside key figures like SimÃÂ n BolÃÂvar and witnessed the complexities of the revolutionary era from within.
