The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

4.0

Set in the 1930's, The Power and the Glory features 2 main protagonists: the whiskey priest and a Lieutenant. This is set during a time when there was strong sentiment against the Catholic clergy in southern Mexico. The Red Shirts are a group that have taken over and were attempting to drive out religion and the clergy. The nameless "whiskey priest" wanders the countryside and villages, trying to avoid capture, while the Lieutenant is in pursuit.
