Description: "This book explores the life and times of Ecuador's most controversial nineteenth-century politician within the broader context of the new political history. Eschewing the traditional polemics associated with other Garcia Moreno biographies, the book concentrates on five themes that resounded throughout the Andean world in that epoch."--BOOK JACKET.
