Overview: 
Latin America's Wars, Volumes I & II present a comprehensive history of the regions conflicts from 1791 to 2001.  I read sections or particular chapters starting with slave rebellions in Haiti to the Mexican Adventure, 1861-1867; the War of the Triple Alliance, 1864-1870; the Great Pacific War, 1879-1883, and the Spanish-American War, 1898 in Volume 1.  I also read the Chaco War 1932-1935 and Cuba interventions in Africa during the Cold War. 

There is a wealth of other conflicts in English concerning other conflicts throughout the Western hemisphere.  Recommended reading concerning the military history of Latin America.
