Mexico: The Revolution and Beyond

by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio (Editor), Agustin Victor Casasola (Photographer), Pete Hamill (Essay)

Agustin Victor Casasola photographed everyone of consequence in Mexico at the time of the revolution, from Francisco (Pancho) Villa, Emiliano Zapata and the exiled Russian leader Leon Trotsky to artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. For this splendid collection of Casasola's work, the noted American author Pete Hamill has written a rich essay on the photographer and the Mexico he pictured so well.

Gorgeous historic photos from the era leading up to and following the Mexican Revolution by what is arguably the world’s first photojournalism agency. An interesting intro by a famed newspaper columnist adds to its interest.
