With (part of) what's going on in the world, does anyone have any good book recommendations about the Bolivarin revolution or the man himself?

Bolívar the historical figure and bolivarianism are vastly different things at this point, but it would be good to read some of his writing to understand how he understood that unless there was panamerican solidarity the US would've dominated the whole hemisphere.

I'd start with the "Jamaican letter", which I'm sure has been translated to English.
