Zapatista Revolution
 Blake
Bailey became intrigued with the Zapatista movement in 1994 when reports of
the Zapatista revolution pervaded the international press in 1994. Blake
began an exhaustive study of the Chiapas story leading him to a road-trip across Mexico to San Cristabal de
las Casas, where the dramatic take-over by the Mayan Indians was focused.
This story of adventure and sacrifice of a people's revolution drove Blake to
write a novel based on the continuing struggle in Mexico.
Our website is devoted to the cause of the Zapatistas. We invite you to visit

Zapatista, The Book
Zapatista is faithfully based on the facts of the 1994 Chiapas Indian
uprising in southern Mexico. It is designed to be interesting to anyone
simply wanting to read an adventure story, as well as anyone interested in
the deeper drama of a people revolution.
The protagonist, Peter, is a Texan who sabbaticals with friends in the
Sierra-Madre for the purpose of writing, drinking, and seeking adventure.
Peter gets more adventure than anticipated when a whirlwind of
circumstances hurls him away from his friends into a life and death
struggle for the revolutionary cause. These adventures and the love of an
Indian woman, Lxil, forever change Peter's life.
Now available in hardcover or  paperback.
