When he became President, she became his de facto first lady and together they changed the course of the country's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsumed by desire for Napoleonic glory, General President Lopez took Paraguay into a disastrous war against her neighbours. Elisa Lynch went with him on campaign, turning conditions of war to her advantage where she could. He was killed in the northern hills but she survived, only to be expelled from Paraguay and die an obscure death in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviled and respected, loved and distrusted, Elisa Lynch has been described as both a heroic companion to Lopez and a malign enchantress. In \"The Shadows of Elisa Lynch\", Sian Rees tells her fascinating story of recovered history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Review","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60726675439950,"sku":"9780755311149","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/6546\/8238\/files\/9780755311149.webp?v=1788952357","url":"https:\/\/littlelanebookshop.com\/products\/the-shadows-of-elisa-lynch-sian-rees","provider":"Little Lane Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
