Breve reseña histórica de los acontecimientos mas notables de la nacion mexicana

San Antonio es la cuna de la libertad del estado de Texas, pero también de México. Y en este punto vale la pena detenerse para hacer una primera afirmación: la historia de Texas no se puede entender sin la de México y viceversa. Comparten pasado, pero también espíritu. Esta ha sido la casa que con amistad y respeto ha alojado a los más insignes mexicanos de los que se tenga memoria, en estas páginas se evoca a Francisco I. Madero, iniciador de la Revolución mexicana y padre del México moderno, para quien Estados Unidos y la ciudad de San Antonio fueron algo más que familiar.

"Long overdue biography of the 'always bridesmaid' of the early republic. Author says much more about the political maneuvers of the period, concentrating on personalities of the Mexican elite. Somewhat useful"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
