Abstract

In mid-July 2023, George Ermakoff, author of one of the most recent and successful biographies
about Admiral Cochrane, accepted the invitation from the organizers of this dossier to share his
insights on Cochrane’s trajectory and contributions, a prominent figure in the consolidation of
Independence in the northern provinces of Brazil. During the interview, he highlights Cochrane’s
ability to lead the Imperial Squadron to victory and discusses the perception of Brazilian authorities
and residents of the Northern provinces about Cochrane’s actions. Ermakoff also emphasizes the need for a historiographical review for a deeper understanding of Cochrane’s role in the
independence of these provinces. Finally, he shares his experience in writing a biography about
Cochrane and the challenges he encountered during this process.
