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.
