Description

The Mexican Revolution was once like no other: it was once fueled by no vanguard party, no coherent ideology, no international ambitions; and in the end it served to strengthen reasonably than to subvert the various features of the old regime it overthrew. Alan Knight argues that a populist uprising brought concerning the fall of longtime dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1910. It was once a type of “rather rare episodes in history when the mass of the people profoundly influenced events.” On this first of two volumes Knight shows how urban liberals joined in uneasy alliance with agrarian interests to put in Francisco Madero as president and how his attempts to bring constitutional democracy to Mexico were doomed by counter-revolutionary forces. The Mexican Revolution illuminates on all levels, local and national, the complex history of an era. Rejecting fashionable Marxist and revisionist interpretations, it comes as close as any work can to being definitive.
