The Friends of Pancho Villa by James Carlos Blake is $1.99 at Amazon US
Quote:
Violently 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 Blake’s astonishing novel, 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, for Villa. And in return, they shared victory and death with their country’s most powerful hero—from “one of the greatest chroniclers of the mythical American outlaw life” (Entertainment Weekly).
