    Just to add. Obviously there's plenty in there about Pintor as well as the focus on Owen - so there's your Mex angle.:good

    Dunno about that but it's a very well written and moving book - loads of first hand accounts. Chapters of his life leading up to that night interspersed with descriptions of each round leading to the tragedy and continuing afterwards.
    It'll bring a lump to your throat.
    Ask Gazoc - I think he metioned he'd read it last time I recommended it.
