Tells the story of Paraguay's most notorious ruler Francisco Solano L-pez. Despite the heroic stature he gained after his death, L-pez was a monumentally flawed leader who made the disastrous decisions in 1864 and 1865 to invade Brazil and Argentina. This work offers an analysis of Paraguayan politics and L-pez's life and erratic rule.
