Organized Catholics were seeking a professional military man to build a real army that would fight for God and Country. General Enrique Gorostieta Velarde, although having received a liberal education in his military training, very quickly reconciled himself with religious mysticism for the struggle he was about to lead.

This book is the result of meticulous bibliographic and documentary research, with the aim of giving proper recognition to the man, the soldier, and the leader of the Cristero Liberation Movement.

Stories and testimonies from those who knew him, together with his most important military instructions and proclamations, form a central part of this work. Engaged in the most significant Mexican popular uprising, General Gorostieta left his mark on history with the legacy of a heroic saga whose memory is still, today, contested by the present-day Church and the indifference of official history.

The author: Juan Pablo Herrera Castro is a Mexican historian who long served as a cultural affairs researcher for public television. He is also the author of several works available only in Spanish.
