Quien más, quien menos, ha tenido que escuchar a lo largo de su vida a algún familiar o amigo sus batallitas sobre el tiempo que pasó haciendo la mili cuando era obligatoria. Esta podría ser una más, si no fuera porque se produjo en un periodo especialmente completo en España, el inicio de la democracia, y el protagonista, un simple soldado, sin ser consciente de ello pudo haber participado en cierto modo en un complot que se gesto dentro del propio ejercito español. ¿En que medida esto fue asi?¿Quien lo sabe?

Estos cuentos que hoy se ofrecen al lector nacen de recuerdos tejidos hace medio siglo, en un Perú que veía a su capital transformarse abruptamente. La vieja Lima, altiva y rancia, se vio entonces, a veces con recelo, a veces con temor, invadida y dominada por todas las indomitas sangres que bajaban de los campos, los valles, las montañas y los rios amazonicos del interior del Peru, en busqueda de un futuro mejor. Llegaron campesinos que aun creian que el Gobierno era un señor que vivia en Lima, adonde solo se podia llegar en avion porque la capital estaba en el cielo, pero que pronto verian que Lima no era mas que un baluarte de una elite dominante. Ellos trajeron consigo sus hablas y silencios, sus costumbres, sus mitos y creencias. Asi, la ciudad se lleno de nuevas voces, de otros colores, de modos distintos de mirar el mundo, y aquella Lima dura y orgullosa termino transformada y enriquecida por todas las sangres de todos los peruanos y hoy en dia podemos afirmar que el Peru sera cholo o no sera.
