The award-winning author blends fact and fiction to bring the Mexican Revolution to life in a "harrowing and brutal tale" of its famous leader (
Rocky Mountain News).
Waged from 1910 to 1920, the Mexican Revolution profoundly transformed Mexican government and culture. And Pancho Villa was its "incarnation and its eagle of a soul"-so says Rodolfo Fierro, the narrator of
The Friends of Pancho Villa, an ex-con, train robber, and Villa's loyal friend. Killers of men and lovers of life, the revolutionaries fought for freedom, for a new Mexico, and for Villa himself. In return, they shared victory and death with their country's most powerful hero.
"Frankly describing the murder, betrayal and deceit that turned a revolution against dictatorship into a civil war," the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
-winning author of
The Ways of Wolfe delivers a masterpiece of ferocious loyalty, bloody revolution, and legends that live forever (
Publishers Weekly).
"One of the greatest chroniclers of the mythical American outlaw life" -
Entertainment Weekly
"This is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is revolution." -
