Mask of the Andes, also known as The Liberators in the US, is a 1971 novel written by Australian author Jon Cleary set in Bolivia.[1]

Cleary says he had been thinking about its themes for over ten years. The result was one of his most critically acclaimed works,[2] with some critics drawing comparison to Graham Greene.[3] The book did not sell well in Britain, the US or Australia, but was a big seller in Germany and South America. Cleary even received a fan letter from some of Che Guevara's former guerrillas.[4]
