Liberators
The enduring battle against the monopoly of power.
What do San Martín, Bolívar, Trump, and Milei have in common?
They all saw the monopoly of power of their time. They all decided to break it. And they all paid a price that no leadership manual dares to mention.
Liberators is not a book about history. It is a book about the present.
Did they liberate their people, or simply change their masters?
The answer is not the same for all four. And that difference is everything.
