Why read it?
1 author picked Tom Mix and Pancho Villa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This novel sparked my lifetime obsession regarding Mexican Revolutionary Francisco “Pancho” Villa and the U.S. Army’s eventual pursuit of Villa deep into Mexico following his presumed attack on Columbus, New Mexico.
In some ways evoking aspects of Hemingway’s A Farewell To Arms, this is a blood and thunder coming-of-age novel set against a wartime backdrop and narrated by a young (and future silent movie cowboy star) Tom Mix, who on a romantic whim, decides to cross the border and fight with Villa to overthrow Mexico’s despotic president.
I believe I reread this novel perhaps six times within a year…
From Craig's list on suspenseful thrillers where fact & fiction meet.
