Produktbeschreibung

While fire-eaters, both North & South, fanned controversial flames into open, armed hostilities, the political situation south of the 1860 US-Mexico border also quickly deteriorated. Prior to opening shots at Fort Sumter, Liberal Republican President Benito Juárez wrested power away from the clerical Conservatives who had held the country in a oppressive grip since before Spain's embarrassing evacuation. Juárez's election, and subsequent persecution, prompted affluent expatriate Conservatives to flee to Europe, where, as political refugees, they gained the sympathies of France's Napoleón III. Seeing the turmoil brewing in the US, Napoleón, backed by some of Europe's most influential bankers, gambled and embarked on a mission of regaining a foot-hold on the western continent that had been lost since the publication of the US's Monroe Doctrine.

Autorenporträt

Although Sin Perdón is the author's first book to go to publication, there are about eight works, currently in progress, "waiting in the wings,' at various stages of completion. All the author's books, including Sin Perdón deal loosely with that most devastating, critical period in American History when over 600,000 men, women, and children perished in the multi-faceted conflict - many issues of which were never really 'resolved,' but still haunt and plague U.S. politics, today. The author's total 'civil war knowledge' (from the public school system) could be summed-up in three phrases: "the South had slaves;" "the North didn't like it;" 'the North invaded the South and 'forced the issue," (resulting in the 'freeing' of 3 million enslaved people - which, in fact, these peoples were never 'freed,' as they are still depended on a hand-out in order to survive). Equally, all 'peripheral connections' with that American conflict were virtually unknown.
