About this title

Synopsis

This study of the Navy's activities during the final years of independence in Chile and Peru makes an important contribution to South American history. It concentrates on the naval commanders who manned the Pacific Station from 1814 to 1825 and the difficulties they encountered in attempting to maintain neutrality and to protect United States commercial interests.

Originally published in 1967.
