General V�ctor Jos� Fern�ndez Bol�var, a good Venezuelan military man, seems obsessed by his historical research, that is, by the overflowing force of the life and work of the Liberator. How could he escape from this obsession when his research and work move within the great historical synthesis of universal dimensions?� By only reading the simple summary of this work we can see what I have just pointed out. In one sole precision piece to which I would describe as admirable, we are given the basic concepts of the author�s thought, the particular process of the meeting between Bolivar and San Martin, so many times focused on various criteria of interpretation, and its conclusions, a true analytical jewel, of that memorable act where the magnanimous Liberators taught the Americans a lesson of understanding the sacred interests of this Continent to those who wish to search and find, by means of dialog. This dense and keen research is quite current.� Let us not forget that the integration of our Andean Countries, today on the way to completeness, tends to be geared towards a Latin American integration, as a prior step, and that, in its historical-vital center, the already far reality of the Guayaquil meeting is brought to mind. Only two years ago, in the Spain we carry deep in our hearts, the author and I, talked about the matter of what this work would be like.� Before us was the ancient fa�ade of the Cathedral of Toledo.� Everything wrapped us into a distant past the prints of which, in the present, made us foresee the future of our civilization.� Then, we understood one more time that, in the scheme of history, we cannot do without the past threads that try to unite us under an always-latent ecumenism, even though we often pretend to ignore it. The mathematics of history discovers those threads for us and, when it places them in our hands to prolong them towards the future, it makes us work towards achieving a better world.� The message of this work by General V�ctor Jos� Fern�ndez Bol�var, with the interpretation of history that he poses herein, constitutes a message of optimistic and conscientious seriousness. If we want to think, we should visit its pages. Only he who seriously and sincerely thinks can guide us through the roads of true history.� �The meeting between Bol�var and San Mart�n�, when it makes us think, is true and constructive history.� ��������������������������������������������������������������������� ENRIQUE DIAZ RUIZ THE MATHEMATICAL-HISTORICAL, STRATEGIC AND POLITICAL CONCEPT BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
