Description

Volume 2 of The Mexican Revolution begins with the army counter-revolution of 1913, which ended Francisco Madero’s liberal experiment and installed Victoriano Huerta’s military rule. After the overthrow of the brutal Huerta, Venustiano Carranza came to the leading edge, but his provisional government was once opposed by Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, who come powefully to life in Alan Knight’s book. Knight offers a fresh interpretation of the nice schism of 1914-15, which divided the revolution in its moment of victory, and which led to the overall bout of civil war between the forces of Villa and Carranza. By the end of this brilliant study of a well-liked uprising that deteriorated into political self-in the hunt for and vengeance, nearly the entire leading players have been assassinated. Within the closing pages, Alan Knight ponders the very important question: what had the revolution changed? His two-volume history, without delay dramatic and scrupulously documented, goes against the grain of traditional assessments of the “last great revolution.”
