Zapatista is faithfully based on the facts of the 1994 Chiapas Indian
uprising in southern Mexico. It is designed to be interesting to anyone
simply wanting to read an adventure story, as well as anyone interested in
the deeper drama of a people revolution.
The protagonist, Peter, is a Texan who sabbaticals with friends in the
Sierra-Madre for the purpose of writing, drinking, and seeking adventure.
Peter gets more adventure than anticipated when a whirlwind of
circumstances hurls him away from his friends into a life and death
struggle for the revolutionary cause. These adventures and the love of an
Indian woman, Lxil, forever change Peter's life.
