Summary "By-Ways of War: The Story of the Filibusters" by James Jeffrey Roche is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the phenomenon of American filibustering during the 19th century, specifically detailing the adventures and misadventures of various filibusters as they attempted to invade and annex territories in Latin America. The narrative dives into the motivations, backgrounds, and consequences faced by these adventurous figures. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thorough examination of filibusterism by tracing the etymology of the term "filibuster" and its historical context, going back to the days of Norse adventurers and buccaneers. Roche introduces various key players, such as Don Francisco Miranda and his expeditions, highlighting the challenges and failures faced by those who sought to engage in acts of private warfare for political and territorial gains. This groundwork provides readers with an understanding of the complexities and moral ambiguities of filibusterism, establishing a narrative rich in historical detail and character analysis.
