- "In the early years of the twentieth century, with revolution sweeping the Mexican countryside, Demetrio Macias, a poor, illiterate Indian, is forced to join the rebels in order to save his family. His courage and charisma earn him important friends - and a generalship in the army of the legendary Pancho Villa - but in the face of mounting defeats and increasing factionalism, Demetrio begins to feel estranged from the cause, coming up against a crisis of resolve he hoped he would never have to confront." --Book Jacket.
