Summary:

"Delpar provides a history of Colombia's liberal party covering a period in which it was first the dominant party (1863-1885) and then the party of opposition (1886-1899). Delpar's study is well written and firmly grounded in extensive research [and] will occupy a prominent position in the sparse historiography of the late 19th century Colombia." - Hispanic American Historical Review (HAHR) "Delpar has given us a book that is disarmingly unpretentious yet offers considerably more than the title implies.
