Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. One of those books where me and the author are at loggerheads. Based on the title, I want a book that explains the history of the Batallón de San Patricio/Saint Patrick's Battalion and the Battle of Churubsco during the Mexican-American War. The author meanwhile wants to create a fantasy full of dream sequences and supernatural elements and play fast and loose with the facts. Even once I resign myself to not getting what I want, I just don't care for what I get. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"A soldier under fire faces a crisis of conscience in this remarkable work of historical graphic fiction. In 1847, Mexican suburb Churubusco was the stronghold of the San Patricios, a motley battalion of soldiers--even some runaway American slaves--who deserted the United States army for a just, if suicidal, cause. In this graphic novel, Ferraris tells their story through the eyes of Gaetano Rizzo (based on a real soldier). A twenty-two-year-old Sicilian immigrant, he is promised citizenship and a parcel of land if he will fight to take California away from Mexico. Soon, he sees the cruelty he is being ordered to inflict is no different from what he had escaped from"--Back cover. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
