Un abordaje con honestidad intelectual y habilidad narrativa de un período polémico cuya memoria está empañada por los fusilamientos de militares y civiles de junio del 56, razón por la cual cuando se trata de escribir esta historia, -parafraseando a Octavio Paz- «las viejas heridas sangran todavía».

En la Montaña del Príncipe Pío, cerca del Cementerio, en la madrugada del día Tres de Mayo de 1808, por orden de Joaquín Murat, las tropas invasoras asesinarán a cuarenta y tres patriotas; triste destino de unos españoles, tras sorteo entre prisioneros de diferentes depósitos. Hasta el día 12, por expresa disposición del mariscal francés, permanecerán sus cadáveres insepultos. En esa fecha se les dará cristiana sepultura en el cementerio de La Florida, custodiado por la Sociedad Filantrópica de Milicianos Nacionales Veteranos.
