Cinco de Mayo: What is Everybody Celebrating

by Donald W. Miles

Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a holiday so popular that in the United States it draws larger crowds than here in the United States. About half a million people turn out for the annual event in Los Angeles alone, but exactly what is everybody celebrating? They're there for the music - and the half-priced margaritas - but if you ask around, you won't find many people who can tell you what happened in Mexico on that day. There are very few adult-level books currently on the market about that subject, but readers can now learn how the Mexicans took back their country after a five-year struggle against the French army in this 90,000-word book, Cinco de Mayo: What is Everybody Celebrating? (2nd Ed.)

You do not have to be a history buff to enjoy this book!

"France ordered her generals to take over Mexico and then – using it as a base – help the Confederates win their war against the United States. What if they succeeded? How Mexico saved itself & influenced the outcome of the Civil War"

Easy and enjoyable read!
