Anybody know of some good biographies of Simon Bolivar?

Been reading some books on naval history of the 1800's, and the South American revolutions came up a number of times. Piqued my interest. Know little of them, and Bolivar seems like a great place to start.

Any recommendations?

Have you read the Maria Arana biography? That's the most recent non academic biography that got a lot reach.
