This comprehensive two-volume history of the Mexican Revolution presents a new interpretation of one of the world's most important revolutions. While it reflects the many facets of this complex and far-reaching historical subject it emphasises its fundamentally local, popular and agrarian character and locates it within a more general comparative context.-- Publisher.
Recounts President Woodrow Wilson's abortive efforts to preserve democracy in Mexico amid political chaos.
This volume presents the life and activities of Pascual Orozco (1882-1915), a Mexican revolutionary leader who, after the triumph of the Mexican Revolution, rose up against Francisco Madero and recognized the coup d'état led by Victoriano Huerta and the government it imposed. The author's primary aim is to analyze General Orozco's revolutionary career and to trace the course of the 1910 revolution in Chihuahua. Orozco's contributions to the conception and growth of the revolutionary phenomenon were multiple, but his chief importance is found in his bringing together of the masses in northern Mexico -- the people who would comprise the rank and file of the revolutionary army and eventually implement its success -- and in the military leadership which he provided during the protracted series of campaigns.
“The seven years with which this book concerns itself . . . must be thoroughly examined if one is to have a grasp of modern Mexican history.” —Military History of Texas and the Southwest The years 1913-1920 were the most critical years of the Mexican Revolution. This study of the period, a sequel to the author’s Mexican Revolution: Genesis under Madero, traces Mexico’s course through the anguish of civil war to the establishment of a tenuous new government, the codification of revolutionary aspirations in a remarkable constitution, and the emergence of an activist leadership determined to propel Mexico into the select company of developed nations. The narrative begins with Huerta’s overthrow of Madero in 1913 and the rise of Carranza’s Constitutionalist counterchallenge. It concludes with a summary of Carranza’s stormy term as constitutional president climaxed by his ouster and overthrow in a revolt spearheaded by Alvaro Obregón. Basing his study on a wide range of Mexican and US primary sources as well as pertinent secondary studies, Cumberland brings a mature and sophisticated analysis to his material; the result is a major contribution to the understanding of one of the twentieth century’s most significant revolutionary movements.
