“This
excellent chronology of the Mexican Revolution at first glance appears to be a
superb reference volume, and it is, but it is also much more. Reading through
the events makes clear the violence, despair, hope, and, finally, the sense of
the possibility of a better
Mexico
for all Mexicans. The populist nature of this social revolution emerges clearly
through the narration of events, small and large, over the decades of the
struggle in this valuable compendium.”
William H. Beezley, University of Arizona
A must for any Latin American studies
department, Mexican scholar or researcher *, Revolutionary Days is NOT a "today in history" type time-line, but the ONLY guide to the daily events of the Mexican Revolution that includes the references and sources needed for scholarly investigation. Revolutionary Days is timed to coincide with the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution, but as a basic reference, will never go out of date.
Spanning all of
Mexico over the
course of a decade, the Mexican Revolution was a complex, and complicated, series
of over-lapping, simultaneous, sometimes contradictory and – frustrating –
military and political actions that baffle even the experts... UNTIL NOW.
Ray Acosta has done the impossible, writing a
day by day calendar of the Revolution, including the latest citations and bibliographic data (and noting contradictory information), providing a basic point of reference for both the student and expert.
