Synopsis
In the mahogany lumber camps of southern Mexico, circa 1912, Indians are enslaved and treated cruelly by the owners and madmen overseers - camps where torture is the regular mode of discipline. The great Mexican Revolution led by Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa is breaking out all over the country and finally with great courage the 500 camp workers rebel and form their own army, an Indian army which marches out of the jungle to fight the rural police and federal army. This political fiction story is real as it slams you into the lives of these humble Indians. Three mysterious men who work in these camps become the leaders and give one basic reason for the armed struggle - Land and Liberty! The Indians, in their hearts understand this call for rebellion and give everything to this armed struggle for freedom and justice! A Collector's Edition.

From the Back Cover
The Rebellion of the Hanged is the fifth of B. Traven's six legendary Jungle Novels which together form an epic of the birth of the Mexican Revolution. Set in the slave-labor mahogany plantations of tropical Mexico in 1910, at the time of the uprising against the rule of Porfirio Diaz and the beginnings of revolution, Rebellion is a powerful and somber tale of the tortures suffered by downtrodden Indians. But here it culminates in a revolt by the long-oppressed workers against the owners and overseers of the camps, and in a treacherous march through the jungles at the height of the rainy season - a human feat of epic proportions.
About the Author
The mysterious B. Traven (1890 1969) was born in Chicago, spent his youth in Germany as an itinerant actor and revolutionary journalist, became a seaman on tramp steamers, settled in Mexico in the early 1920s, and began recording his experience in novels and stories. In the United States his best-known novel is The Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
