New book coming out: The Life and Times of Juan Bautista Azopardo:Announcing my new book:The Life and Times of Juan Bautista Azopardo:The Maltese corsair who founded the first navy of Argentina(1772 – 1848)(Hard copy)This is the incredible story of a Maltese corsair who ended up fighting for Argentina and building its first navy. Juan Bautista Azopardo was born in the port town of Senglea in Malta, but as a teenager, he grew up in Toulon, learning shipwrightery and the art of naval warfare. He fought in the French Revolution on the side of the revolutionaries and was promoted to the rank of officer and given French citizenship. He opted to continue his privateering career with the legendary French corsair Hipólito Mordeille until he ended up in Buenos Aires fighting alongside the locals against a British invasion. Victorious and successful, he was promoted again and given a new home country. A Francophile and a Republican, Juan Bautista Azopardo supported Argentina’s May Revolution and, being close to the military’s top brass, convinced his superiors to hand him the responsibility for building Argentina’s first ever navy. The end result was catastrophic for Juan, but his name remains embedded in Argentina’s hall of heroes.This is the incredible story of how an unlikely Maltese individual ended up in the frontlines of the great, historic tectonic shifts of the Napoleonic era.Pre-order your copy now.€10 pick-up at event€13 with postage€16 retail price at launchPayment via PayPal to markcamilleri@autistici.orgRevolut: +35677007909If paying for postage, write your address with payment.
