"Narrative of Services in the Liberation of Chili, Peru and Brazil" by Thomas Cochrane Dundonald is a historical narrative that recounts the experiences and actions of Lord Cochrane in the independence movements of Brazil. It emphasizes his naval tactics and battles against Portuguese forces. The story is primarily set in the early 1820s, against the backdrop of rising calls for independence in Brazil following Don Pedro's return to Portugal. It also details the internal conflicts within the Brazilian Navy, arising from a lack of discipline among the crew and political infighting, which Cochrane grapples with upon his arrival in Rio de Janeiro. In this account, Cochrane is hired by the Brazilian Emperor and thrust into naval warfare and political revolution across South America. His account offers personal insights and broader historical context, showing the struggle for naval power during the time.
