“Tall and well built, with a sanguine, beardless face, he wore shirt and trousers of white cloth, a broad-brimmed straw hat, and leather sandals.

Demetrio Macías, Mariano Azuela’s uncomplicated and uncompromising revolutionary -- initially. Husband, father, fugitive, and leader of a small band of rebels, fighting for land reform during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. His objective: to annihilate the Federals and create havoc for the bourgeoisie.
