At once a gut-wrenching parable of war and a stirring coming-of-age adventure, The Diezmo tells the incredible story of one of the most absurd and tragic military adventures in American history. In the early days of the Republic of Texas, two young men, barely sixteen years old and wild for glory, impulsively volunteer for a military expedition assigned to patrol the Mexican border. After being captured in a raid on the Mexican village of Mier, the men of their expedition are sentenced to the grisly diezmo, in which a random selection by bean lottery condemns one man in every ten to his death. The imprisoned survivors make one desperate, last-ditch bid for freedom with tragic results.
