About The Book (Excerpts and Info):
During the Mexican Revolution, a penniless Norwegian and a drifting Irishman meet in an El Paso bar and are hired by a Pittsburgh con-man to fix a gold mine in Mexico with parts which, they discover too late, purposely don’t fit.
The Norwegian is focused on fixing the mine and needs the money to propose to his girl in El Paso. The Irishman is focused on the local women, is fresh from Ireland’s bloody Easter Uprising, and needs to redeem a painful guilt and find a new life.
They both are at gunpoint to perform or not perform.
Their mutual distrust fades in the face of guns from the warring sides and they must work together to survive and escape back to Texas. Complicating their mission is a mysterious black-suited man selling guns to both sides in the Mexican war, part of Germany’s intrigue to keep America out of World War I -- and a German and Brit are there to spy on each other. Texas is far away.
Dos Gringos is based on a true story.

About the author:
Taking “the road less traveled” has been a stand-out theme in the life and career of Frederick R. Andresen. Born and raised on the West Texas desert near El Paso, Andresen has spent most of his professional life in international business. Although his time in the military and his earlier career took him all over Europe and Asia, Andresen returned to his hometown to write Dos Gringos, a work inspired by the account of his immigrant Norwegian father’s escapades during the Mexican Revolution.
In the meantime, for nearly twenty years he has invested his time in building telecom companies in Russia and that exposure has inspired him as a writer and as a man. A collection of intercultural essays written during his residence in Russia in the 1990s, “Walking on Ice: An American Businessman in Russia,” has raised Andresen’s profile as a writer and speaker versed in living and doing business abroad -- especially in Russia.
Coming up are historical fiction works largely set in Russia and often inspired by or about art, such as Lady with an Ostrich Feather Fan, about a pair of Rembrandts.
He continues his Russian business involvement and consults on international subjects with others. He is president of the Los Angeles-St. Petersburg Sister City Committee and a director of the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin.
