perspective of Comandante Elio Torresola, who led the rebel forces to victory during El Grito de Jayuya. In 1950, Puerto Rican nationalists stunned the world when they succeeded in destroying the international image of the United States as the 'Champion of Democracy' by declaring the Republic of Puerto Rico and extending the reach of the rebellion into the heartland of the United States through a direct attack on President Truman. |Times of Upheaval| is the product of a three-year investigation by a journalist who delved into personal and official documents, including the FBI's so-called Secret Files on Puerto Rico, newspapers, books and theses at the University of Puerto Rico, and interviews with witnesses to the events, as well as with the revolutionaries and their families." -- Translation provided by NLS

"A stupid war, an invisible enemy, confused governors, a battlefield, the Falkland Islands, and a narrator that unveils the truths…
and lies behind all this with freshness and irony. «Do not judge the war in terms of beauty. In fact, it is like people: it has to be beautiful inside, because it is too ugly on the outside». A bomb remains in mid air and resists falling. Exhausted and hungry soldiers look up and they wonder if all wars are like that. They do not know who the enemy is or where he is, but they keep walking in dreams, like sleepwalkers, fighting for a piece of land that does not belong to anyone, defending a country that floats on a subsoil of misery and corruption. There is nothing normal or predictable in |We Walk in Dreams|, the edited and extended version of the novel where Patricio Pron told «not what really happened or could have happened, but what happened indeed, although only in the childish imagination» of the author, who was six years old when the war between Argentina and Great Britain started. |We Walk in Dreams| talks about that confrontation, but the true theme of this comic novel is what happens when people kill on behalf of nationalism, what happens when common sense leaves room for cowardice and stupidity disguised as patriotism. Pron's view is a satire of all wars, a story simultaneously inhabited by the spirits of Samuel Beckett, César Aira, Martin Amis and Fogwill that only take the reader as prisoner." -- Provided by publisher
