"Narrative of Services in the Liberation of Chili, Peru and Brazil" by Thomas Cochrane Dundonald is a recounting of the author's real-life adventures as a naval commander in South America's fight for freedom. The story kicks off with the author being asked to lead Chile's navy in 1817, a role he accepts to help break Spain's control of the seas. Arriving in Valparaiso, he quickly gets to work planning attacks to free Peruvian lands, encountering tough battles against heavily defended Spanish forts and dealing with limited supplies.
