Venezuelan researcher María Pérez Víctor held a book launch yesterday for her latest publication entitled “Liberty or Death”, which tells the life of Richard L. Vowell, an English soldier who fought with the British Legion that accompanied Simón Bolívar during the Independence struggle in the South American continent. In view of the topic, the author fittingly dedicated her work to the deceased President Hugo Chávez. The book launch was held in the Royal Thames Yatch Club in London and academics, journalists and diplomats, amongst others, attended together with the decendents of Richard L. Vowell. In reference to Vowell, Páez Víctor stated that he was a skillful soldier who had left a valuable historical legacy through his writings on the military feats of Bolívar, based on his thirteen years spent in South America. “Liberty or Death” is published by the Tattered Flag Press, which specialises in historical research. Páez Víctor is a sociologist with a doctorate from the University of York, Canada, where she currently resides. Press Unit of the Embassy of Venezuela in the UK Monday 8 July 2013
