Sobre este artículo
The Darien Disaster refers to a series of events which took place from 1698-1700, when the Scots defied the English and Spanish and tried to establish a settlement in Panama. What transpired cost 2,000 Scots their lives and firmly marked the end of Scotland's attempt at independence. It remains a scar on the Scottish psyche.
The Darien Disaster, A Scots Colony in the New World 1698-1700 was written in 1968 by the preeminent authority on Scottish history, the Canadian-English journalist John Prebble (1915-2001). It was a best-seller and was re-issued by Edinburgh's Mainstream Publishing in 1978, as a trade paperback which, oddly, has a dust jacket.
It is 366 pages, including lots of images. It has one dogear and a gift inscription in the front (father to daughter) but is in excellent condition.
