Resumen
El libro Yo, Soldado, del Ejército y de la Constitución de Jorge Ernesto Llosa Montagne constituye una narración histórica basada en hechos reales que reconstruye la vida y actuación del general Ernesto Montagne Markholz, destacando su papel en escenarios militares y políticos del Perú durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. La obra no es una biografía convencional, sino una “historia animada” que integra documentación histórica con recreaciones narrativas para dar dinamismo a los acontecimientos .
El texto aborda la participación de Montagne en la guerra con Colombia (1932–1933), donde ejerció funciones clave como jefe de Estado Mayor y comandante en el Teatro de Operaciones del Nororiente, contribuyendo al éxito militar peruano. Asimismo, resalta su firme adhesión al orden constitucional, evidenciada en su intervención para evitar conflictos internos y golpes de Estado, consolidándolo como un militar comprometido con la legalidad y la institucionalidad democrática.
La obra también examina su trayectoria política, incluyendo su desempeño como ministro, diplomático y candidato presidencial en 1950 frente a la dictadura de Manuel A. Odría, proceso marcado por persecuciones, irregularidades y vulneraciones al sistema democrático. A través de episodios como intentos de asesinato, conspiraciones y conflictos civiles latentes, el libro muestra las tensiones entre poder militar y poder político en el Perú.
En conjunto, el texto reivindica la figura de Montagne como un referente de honor, liderazgo y ética militar, presentándolo como un defensor de la Constitución y un símbolo de integridad en contextos de crisis política e institucional.
Abstract The book Yo, Soldado, del Ejército y de la Constitución by Jorge Ernesto Llosa Montagne presents a historical narrative based on real events, reconstructing the life and actions of General Ernesto Montagne Markholz, highlighting his role in both military and political contexts in Peru during the first half of the twentieth century. Rather than a conventional biography, the work is conceived as an “animated history,” combining documented sources with narrative reconstruction to provide a dynamic account of historical events . The text examines Montagne’s participation in the war with Colombia (1932–1933), where he played a key role as Chief of Staff and later as commander in the Northeastern Theater of Operations, contributing to Peru’s military success. It also emphasizes his firm commitment to constitutional order, demonstrated through his actions to prevent internal conflicts and coups, consolidating his image as a military officer deeply aligned with legality and democratic principles. The book further explores his political trajectory, including his service as minister, diplomat, and presidential candidate in 1950 against the regime of Manuel A. Odría, a process marked by repression, irregularities, and the erosion of democratic institutions. Through episodes such as assassination attempts, conspiracies, and looming civil conflicts, the work reveals the tensions between military power and political authority in Peru. Overall, the book portrays Montagne as a figure of honor, leadership, and ethical integrity, presenting him as a defender of the Constitution and a symbol of moral authority in times of political and institutional crisis.
