Does anyone know of any English language biographies of the Paraguayan dictator and about the War of the Triple Alliance of 1864/1870?
This seems to be a subject almost devoid of any material in Britain which seems odd given the amount of coverage for other conflicts taking place at a similar time, particulary the American Civil War.
I would be grateful if anybody could enlighten me.

Hi RF:
I made a little search.
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the ... e#_note-15
you have a post about the war.
In the bibliography are named:
http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Americas-Wa ... F8&s=books
http://www.amazon.com/Bitter-End-Paragu ... F8&s=books
http://www.amazon.com/Paraguayan-War-Co ... F8&s=books
Kind regards

Hi Marcelo,
That really does surprise me, given the apparent devastating impact of that war.
In England the only references to the war are in school geography books covering Paraguay, in the context of the decimation of Paraguays' male population.
Thanks for the info, I will have a look.
