The Chaco War – Bolivia and Paraguay, 1932-1935, by Bruce W. Farcau
Hardback cover and as new. It is a well documented book covering the little known Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay. This is for anyone who seriously wants to know more on this horrible, unknown war. Description: "Nearly 100,000 men died during the course of the tragic three-year war between two of the world's poorest nations, Bolivia and Paraguay, in the 1930s. The Chaco War was fought over a worthless stretch of desert scrubland for the pride of political leaders and the ambition of a few military officers. While thousands of illiterate, barefoot, undernourished peasant soldiers fought and died with incredible bravery, their commanders and national leaders fussed and fumed over imagined slights and avoided the peace which was so easily within their reach. The Bolivian military, in particular, performed abysmally. Few wars have been as unnecessary or as costly as the Chaco War." $50.00, PayPal only |
