In the crucible of the Mexican Revolution, one man's accidental rise to power ignites a tale of hope, disillusionment, and the brutal reality of war. Demetrio Macías, a poor farmer fleeing persecution, finds himself thrust into the heart of a rebellion that will shake Mexico to its core. As he leads a band of revolutionaries across the war-torn landscape, Macías encounters a cast of characters that embody the complexities of a nation in turmoil. Mariano Azuela's gripping novel strips away the romanticism of revolution, exposing the harsh truths of a conflict that promised freedom but delivered chaos. Through vivid prose and unflinching realism, "Underdogs" asks: Can the ideals of justice survive the crucible of violence and power? Step into the shoes of those history often forgets and witness a revolution unraveling from within.
