Demetrio Macías is compelled to defend his home from attacks by the Federales who serve Mexico's hated dictator. Forced into a fugitive existence, he encounters a rebel band and becomes their charismatic leader, shaping the vagabonds into a dynamic guerrilla force. The unit is further strengthened by an unlikely ally, the aristocratic intellectual Luis Cervantes, whose revulsion at the country's rampant social injustice has turned him against the government. But the escalating violence and harsh realities of war erode Demetrio's and Cervantes' idealism, undermining their alliance and leading to their ultimate disillusionment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fiction","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44867839754464,"sku":"Books:9780486834443n","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/underdogs.jpg?v=1709158072","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/underdogs-azuela-paperback","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
