The award-winning author blends fact and fiction to bring the Mexican Revolution to life in a âharrowing and brutal taleâ 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 âincarnation and its eagle of a soulââso says Rodolfo Fierro, the narrator of The Friends of Pancho Villa, an ex-con, train robber, and Villaâs 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 countryâs most powerful hero. âFrankly describing the murder, betrayal and deceit that turned a revolution against dictatorship into a civil war,â the Los Angeles Times Book Prizeâwinning author of The Ways of Wolfe delivers a masterpiece of ferocious loyalty, bloody revolution, and legends that live forever (Publishers Weekly). âOne of the greatest chroniclers of the mythical American outlaw lifeâ âEntertainment Weekly âThis is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is revolution.â âPublishers Weekly
