About this book

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." — Publishers Weekly
