Yankee Invasion: A Novel of Mexico City Tekijä: Ignacio Solares

Ignacio Solares has written a riveting tale about the events surrounding the Mexico City invasion during the 1800’s. Written as if part memoir, part discussions, this historical fiction novel captures the essence of the time period, along with the documented facts of the era.

The story is told from the perspective of an older Mexican, Abelardo, who outlines the events leading up to and surrounding the American occupation of Mexico city. Very graphic at times, as war always is, the author chooses to be realistic about the events and not hide the gruesome side of war or life. Although a fictional tale, Yankee Invasion captures the trueness of the war, the experience by Mexican soldiers and the effect it had on the lives of those living in Mexico.

The reader will get the sense that the author’s view is very anti-American, but during the time period, and still some today, that is the view held by many in Mexico. Readers will encounter strong language, violence, mature themes, and sexuality, but this is a fictional account of one of the worst times in Mexican history and these themes fit the story. The realness would have been lost without them.

Although, maybe not for everybody, this is a wonderful read that will be enjoyed by many. History buffs, intellectuals, historical fiction lovers, Mexican-Americans, and general readers will find something to take away from, Yankee Invasion.

5 Stars – Highly Recommended… (lisätietoja)
