This book, edited by distinguished Peruvian academic Mauricio Novoa, brings together some of Peru’s leading thinkers and historians who describe the ties between Peru and Great Britain that have existed since Peru’s Independence in 1821.

We’re privileged to be able to hold this private gathering and hope you will join us in what will certainly be an evening to be remembered.

This book presents an historical approach to the British presence in Peru with up to now unpublished material that brings together documents, oral stories rescued from oblivion, as well as original paintings and photographs from the period.

It includes the British participation in the wars of Peruvian independence narrated through notes drawn from diplomatic exchanges in the nineteenth century, and from a sporting and social viewpoint how the British influenced even the development of football in Peru.
