Summary "Anita: Souvenirs d'un contre-guérillas" by Honoré Beaugrand is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences of a French soldier in Mexico, focusing on his adventures during the tumultuous period of the Mexican-American War and his romantic pursuits amid the chaos of military life.

The story follows the protagonist, a non-commissioned officer in the French military, as he embarks on a journey to visit his love interest, Anita, in Salinas. Despite being aware of the dangers posed by rebel forces, his passion drives him to traverse treacherous territory. However, he encounters a band of bandits who capture him, leading to a series of perilous events including interrogation by a Mexican general, potential execution, and a daring escape during a chaotic skirmish.
