The Laugh of the Hyena is a novel about the Mexican Revolution told from the point of view of the soldiers and revolutionaries who were present at the battle.

Wrapped in the turbulence of the Mexican Revolution, a young railroad worker joins the Northern Division. He participated together with General Francisco (Pancho) Villa in the most renowned battles of the time: the battle of Torreón, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Zacatecas, etc.

He knows death, betrayal, pain, and indifference up close; but also love, friendship, and companionship. He witnesses the baser passions unleashed by the murderous fury of a repressed society.

Like the hyenas that emit that sound similar to human laughter when they take prey and are having a feast, so in the Mexican Revolution the cannons thunder with laughter, taking their high share of blood when facing brothers against brothers for the sake of a better future.

With a simple but engaging style, this novel takes up part of the stormy life of Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century.

Inspired by the memories of his grandfather, Germán Olivares García opens a window to the voices of the actors who participated in it, not only the most renowned but also those who in some way served as cannon fodder.
