Francisco_Luis_Urquizo

Francisco Luis Urquizo Benavides (21 June 1891, San Pedro de las Colonias, Coahuila – 6 April 1969, Mexico City) was a Mexican soldier, writer and historian who fought in the Mexican Revolution, rose to the rank of major general, and served as Secretary of National Defense. He was also one of the most significant authors in the genre of historical fiction known as the "novela revolucionaria," a term used to describe works set during the Mexican Revolution. Tropa vieja, which is considered his major narrative work, earned him the sobriquet "novelist of the soldier."His son, Juan Manuel Urquizo Pérez de Tejada, has described Urquizo as "at once a key protagonist of and witness of the Revolution, who left an invaluable testimony in writing, rising to the category of chronicler of the act of revolution."
