Three months later, Urs a was murdered. His replacement, Fernando de Guzm n, was also murdered. Emerging from the chaos was the Biscayan Lope de Aguirre, who turned away from El Dorado and led his men to Peru to overthrow the royal forces and declare independence from the Spanish Crown. When Aguirre was finally killed, the aftermath was astonishing: hundreds dead, entire towns depopulated, and a nascent revolution quashed. Deliberately provocative, Evan Balkan's The Wrath of God examines Aguirre, a symbol of Basque fury and rampage, arguing that Aguirre's historical representation as a one-dimensional madman deserves revisiting. Indeed, Aguirre may be the Americas' first true revolutionary, a view shared by Sim n Bol var, among others. 2011 marks the 450th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary and least known events in the history of the Americas, and Balkan's work offers a timely investigation into the revolutionary's life and controversial methods. 606 $aInsurgency$zSouth America$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aExplorers$zSpain$vBiography 606 $aExplorers$zSouth America$vBiography 607 $aSouth America$xDiscovery and exploration$xSpanish 607 $aSouth America$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aInsurgency$xHistory 615 0$aExplorers 615 0$aExplorers 676 $a980/.013092 676 $aB 700 $aBalkan$b Evan$f1972-$01866017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964822603321 996 $aThe wrath of God$94473264 997 $aUNINA
