  • ""México, 1914. Las tropas norteamericanas han invadido el perto de Veracruz en plena lucha revolucionaria. Los buques estadounidenses acechan a cada instante y los Marines recorren el puerto esperando la orden de marchar a la ciudad de México para invadirla aprovechando el caos que se vive en el país desde que Huerta, el Chacal, asesinara a Madero desatando una lucha que parece inacabable. Sin embargo, no todo está perdido: Luisa Morales, una lavandera con sangre revolucionaria, hará lo posible por grustrar las intenciones de los invasores mientras que un corresponsal de guerra norteamericano se enamora de ella y juntos descubrirán el plan de un espía alemán que quiere entrevistarse con el General Villa para proponerle algo más grande que la revolución misma."--P. [4] of cover."
