Rural Revolts and Their Leaders In Mexico

In depth coverage of rural revolts and the grievances which led to them. Includes tables (in appendices) which show population distribution and numbers of haciendas versus ranchos in 1877 and 1910. Good information on the motivation of key personages such as Zapata, Villa, Carranza, Madero, Calles, and Obregon. Definitely for the person who is a student of the history of the Americas or peasant uprisings leading to revolution.
