Publisher's Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Mexican Revolution, then keep reading...

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.

In The Mexican Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Mexican Civil War and How Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata Impacted Mexico, you will discover topics such as:

  • The Comet
  • The strong man of the Americas
  • Francisco and the spirits
  • Victory comes too soon
  • The Wicked Ambassador
  • Victoriano Huerta
  • Two Hurricanes
  • The Convention of Aguascalientes
  • The Presidential Chair
  • Huerta Strikes Back
  • The Horsemen of the Apocalypse
  • The Centaur and the General: Pershing’s Punitive Expedition
  • The Zimmermann Telegram
  • Aftermath
  • And much, much more...

Story needed more time

To be fair, to do this tumultuous decade of Mexican history justice, you’d need a 20-hour audiobook. While highlighting the contributions of revolutionaries Villa and Zapato, the author tries, by necessity, to fit in a little bit about each other significant player - there’s a score of them - and that gets confusing and sounds almost like a Wikipedia entry.
It was interesting to learn of the roles of the US, Germany, and France in trying to use the conflict in Mexico to further their national interests on the cusp of the first World War.
There are so few English language books about the Mexican Revolution, this one may be worth a try - if you have 3.5 hours and an extra Audible credit to spare.
