Stated First U.S. Edition. Dust jacket with a slightly sunned spine (bold & legible titles). *** "The life of Tina Modotti is the stuff of enduring legend. Her sensual, melancholic beauty inspired the work of the most brilliant artists, photographers, and writers of her time, including Diego Rivera, Edward Weston, and Pablo Neruda. Her fierce commitment to the social and political causes of the working class and her affiliation with the Mexican Communist Party landed her at the center of national controversy in Mexico. A gifted photographer in her own right, Modotti is now widely recognized as one of the great artists of the early twentieth century. It was through her work as a model that she met photographer Edward Weston. Though already married to California poet Roubaix de l'Abrie Richey (known as Robo), Modotti fell in love with Weston and with photography and left with him for Mexico in 1922. In Mexico Modotti blossomed, both as a talented artist and as a dedicated worker for the cause of the revolutionary left, and befriended artists Rivera and Frieda Kahlo. In 1929 Modotti, under suspicion by the Mexican police, was arrested in connection with the murder of Julio Antonio Mella, a Cuban revolutionary and her lover. Though the killers were never identified, the Mexican press raised a scandal by publishing nude photographs of Modotti taken by Weston. She was eventually exiled from Mexico. Denied re-entry to the United States, Modotti field to Germany and then to Moscow, where she abandoned her photography and worked as a bureaucrat for the Communist Party and traveled on clandestine missions for the 'Red Rescue.' In 1936 Modotti moved to Spain, where she met Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Andre Malraux, and Robert Capa. Although Capa tried to encourage her to take up her photography again, Modotti was by now dedicating herself exclusively to political militancy. At the fall of the Spanish Republic in 1939, Modotti returned to Mexico, where she died on January 5, 1942." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The young revolutionary; Into the maze; Photography and militancy; Crossing borders; A kind of homecoming.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eramos cuarenta y ocho hombres sin patria y sin uniforme; esperabamos encontrar ambas cosas mas alla de las lineas mexicanasEsta es la historia real de John Riley y de sus hombres irlandeses que, en 1846, peleaban en las filas de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra Fronterisa con Mexico. Ellos, que habian escapado del hambre y de la opresion en su Irlanda natal, no pudieron permanecer sumisos ante la carniceria que su ejercito cometia para expulsar a los mexicanos de sus tierras. Esta es la leyenda de unos desertores que se cambiaron de bando para combatir la injusticia y formaron el Batallon de San Patricio, una unidad de artilleria del ejercito de la Republica mexicana.Esta es la recreacion de la infamia cometida contra Riley y los suyos, juzgados por alta traicion y marcados a fuego en la mejilla con una D, de desertores y tambien es una apasionante novela de perdedores, con toda la epica y el rigor historico de Pino Cacucci.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWe were forty-eight men with no country or uniform. We hoped to find both on the other side of the Mexican lines. This is the true story of John Riley and the other Irishmen who started off fighting for the United States during the Mexican American War of 1846. Ultimately, however, having fled famine and oppression in their European homeland, they could not stay silent at the brutality of US forces determined to expel Mexican citizens from disputed territory. Driven by their sense of justice, a group of these men deserted the US side and formed the legendary St. Patricks Battalion, an artillery unit fighting for Mexico. With epic storytelling and historical rigor, Pino Cacucci recounts the cruel fate of Riley and his men, who ultimately fought a losing battle and were court-martialed for high treason, branded on the cheek with the letter D for deserter.
