Mexican Revolution

by Charles C. Cumberland

Overview

The Mexican Revolution is one of the most important and ambitious sociopolitical experiments in modem times. The Revolution developed in three distinct stages: the overthrow of the Díaz dictatorship, the subsequent era of bloodshed and devastation during which radical ideas were written into the constitution, and the much longer span during which the ideas have been put into practice. This volume covers the first stage of the Revolution.

Editorial Reviews

"The Mexican Revolution is not only a solid contribution to Mexicana... but proof that political history can be organized logically around a leading personality.... Provocative, readable, and interpretative."

The Americas

"The seven years with which this book concerns itself, 1913-1920, form a basis for present conditions in Mexico and must be thoroughly examined if one is to have a grasp of modern Mexican history."
