THE
INSURGENCE of CHAN SANTA CRUZ
THE BOOK of STONE
Over
the first two decades of the 20th century, the only successful Native American
insurgence on the North American continent was waged in Mexico’s Yucatan. President Porfirio Diaz’s ambitious commissioning
of General Ignacio Bravo to seize and hold Chan Santa Cruz, capital of the
revolted Maya, succeeded… but the forces of occupation found themselves
surrounded by patient, implacable rebels and their equally implacable monte.
In
this fifth book (of 10), Captain Jose Macias returns to the Army of the
Republic and the Territory of Quintana Roo and is given an important posting as
commander of the railway station of Akbal – midway
between Santa Cruz del Bravo and the sea.
There, he begins to understand how war and occupation can often go
hand-in-hand with exploitation and collaboration as the few… Maya or Mexican…
grow rich at the expense of the many, including the legions of miserable
prisoners shipped out to the Territory as the regime of Porfirio Diaz spirals
into chaos. General Bravo, himself
embroiled in family dissensions, leads troops to put down a rebellion in
Valladolid and the former peon, now Cruzob official Silvestro Kaak encounters Mexican
justice.
