Customer Reviews

Helpful historical analysis of a Mexican revolutionary.

Articulate, specific summary of the actions of Ricardo Flores Magon and his brother during, before and after the Mexican Revolution. Also traces the activities of the PLM (Partido Liberal Mexico) and IWW (Industrial Workers of the World), my only criticism is the lack of actual writing by Magon, of which there are only really 10 pages, so you get a lot of history, but not a lot of justification for his and his organizations' actions during that time.Solidarity and revolution.
