Book Reviews of Fire from the Mountain (Plume)

Book Review: authentic and revealing bio-mini-epic
Summary: 5 Stars

1985 foreword by Carlos Fuentes; "his first weapon is a language as fresh, funny, direct, and irreverent as any produced by Latin AMercian literature in its history" a rare insider's view into a revolutionary army whose only enlistment criteria are deep reserves of patience, a white-hot outrage and the (perhaps) naive belief that one can overcome shocking odds and upend the entrenched...a song of morality and optimism and gritty idealism sure to raise the spirits and set an example for those fighting the good fight vs the evil empire...
