The Mexican Revolution was a defining moment of the 20th century. The Mexican fight for democracy, equality, and justice sent shockwaves around the world. No other episode in its history has left a deeper mark. It is a three-act drama full of politics, persecution, and war, not to mention earthquakes, signs in the sky, and even spiritualist sessions, while being populated by larger-than-life villains, international spies, and the universally known figures of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. In fact, our modern idea of “revolution” owes much to what happened in this country between 1910 and 1920. Although the uprisings of the oppressed classes have occurred since antiquity, Mexico in the 20th century is a unique case—this was the first triumphant popular revolution that, unlike others, was able to establish a popular government that carried out extensive social transformations without resorting to state terror, as was the case in the Soviet Union and China. It integrated marginalized groups into national life, and it gave birth to a refurbished nation, where, for a hundred years, there has not been a new coup d’état, a problem that devastated other Latin American countries during the 20th century.

Me ha venido muy bien para refrescar datos sobre la revolución mexicana, sobre todo después de leer la magnífica “Revolución, una novela” del maestro Pérez-Reverte. También para refrescar la memoria sobre las grandes figuras del acontecimiento, especialmente Zapata y Villa. Y también para informarme sobre todos los presidentes habidos antes, durante y después. No es una obra muy recomendable a los grandes estudiosos de la época, pero, si sólo quieres refrescar la memoria, como es mi caso, entonces te puede ser muy útil. Como leer la Wikipedia, pero más entretenido.

Very interesting

Usually I get a little bored reading stuff like this but I
didn't. They had pictures of the people they were talking about and they described them so well I could pick them out in the pictures.
I was also surprised on how "recent" the Mexican revolution happened. Even if 100 years ago wasn't that long ago.
I enjoyed relearning about the Mexican revolution.

This book was much more entertaining than the History of Mexico. It’s a shorter time span obviously so there are more details and key war heroes and foes are mentioned in detail. Please listen through the epilogue. They talk about Villa.

Simplistic but a good overview. Being from Arizona it was good to be able to put the revolution in prospective.
