Originally published in Puerto Rico in 1956 as "Los derrotados,"
Cesar Andreu Iglesias's fictional depiction of a fateful
Nationalist assault on a U.S. military installation in Puerto Rico
is now available for the first time in English.
This tautly written chronicle uncovers the personal histories of
three middle-aged revolutionaries as they plan to kill a U.S.
general. Andreu's cool treatment of their political objectives does
not obscure his compassionate recognition of their human
limitations. Andreu makes clear his view that the Nationalist
answer to Puerto Rico's problems had become an anachronism and that
by the 1950s the union movement was better prepared to deal with
the changes that industrial capitalism was thrusting upon the
Puerto Rican people and their way of life. The afterword by Arcadio
Diaz-Quinones provides a rich historical and literary context for
"The Vanquished,"
