    Notes:
    249 p., "On the opposite side of the Paraguay River, the Gran Chaco, has founded a large quilombo or establishment of fugitives, where Brazil and Argentina, eastern and Paraguayans live together in mutual friendship or enmity with the rest of the world." So wrote Sir Richard Burton, traveling consul of Her Britannic Majesty. War was declared. In this fictional account the authors recreate alternatives to that struggle: dialogue between General Mitre and his deputy, the painter Candido Lopez; the last period of resistance Marshal Solano Lopez and his wife, Madame Lynch; the defection of Argentine captain Francisco Paunero; the secret archives of General Rocha Uruguayan Dellpiane, and the anodyne existence of Baron VII Ramalho, a descendant of one of the conspirators of Quilombo Gran Chaco.
