Book Overview

«Mientras m?s matas, m?s gobiernas. --?lvaro Obreg?n

La versi?n oficial dice que, siendo presidente electo, ?lvaro Obreg?n fue asesinado a tiros por Jos? de Le?n Toral, pero la autopsia encontr? en el cuerpo 13 orificios de entrada y seis de salida de balas de distintos calibres, y concluy? que, o el tirador us? varias pistolas, o hubo seis tiradores. Para colmo, los posibles testigos de los hechos fueron muriendo, tambi?n asesinados o en circunstancias extra?as, pocos meses despu?s de aquel terrible 17 de julio de 1928.

La lista de sospechosos de tanta desgracia y verg?enza nacional incluye al presidente Plutarco El?as Calles, al fundador de la CROM, Luis N. Morones, a la renombrada madre Conchita, y a una serie de oscuros personajes encumbrados del clero de M?xico, quienes organizaron un boicot comercial a nivel nacional para poner de rodillas al gobierno y cerraron los templos para privar de consuelo espiritual a la feligres?a y enardecerla.

Estos datos fueron ocultados cuidadosamente durante 80 a?os y salieron a la luz gracias a esta gran novela hist?rica y reveladora, respaldada por una investigaci?n minuciosa y plena de acci?n e intriga... La trama incluye un verdadero rosario de asesinatos hist?ricos, entre ellos, los de Madero, Carranza, Serrano, Villa y otros tantos m?s.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"'The more you kill, the more you rule." -Alvaro Obregon

The official version says that, being president-elect, ?lvaro Obreg?n was shot dead by Jos? de Le?n Toral, but the autopsy found 13 entry holes and six exit holes in his body for bullets of different calibers, and concluded that, either the shooter used multiple pistols, or there were six shooters. To make matters worse, the possible witnesses of the event were being killed, also assassinated or under suspicious circumstances, a few months after that terrible day of July 17, 1928.

The list of suspects of such national disgrace and shame includes President Plutarco El?as Calles, the founder of CROM, Luis N. Morones, the renowned Mother Conchita, and a series of obscure figures from Mexico's clergy, who organized a nationwide boycott to bring the government to its knees and closed temples to deprive the congregation of spiritual comfort and inflame them.

These facts were carefully hidden for 80 years and came to light thanks to this great, revealing historical novel, backed by meticulous research and full of action and intrigue... The plot includes a veritable string of historical murders, among them, those of Madero, Carranza, Serrano, Villa and many others.
