Descriere & specificații

"...Villa was an outlaw for twenty-two years. When he was only a boy of sixteen, ... he killed a government official... that in itself would not have outlawed him long in Mexico, where human life is cheap; but once a refugee he committed the unpardonable crime of stealing cattle from the rich "hacendados." And from that time to the outbreak of the Madero revolution, the Mexican government had a price on his head." -John Reed, Insurgent Mexico , (1914) American journalist John Reed was sent in 1913 to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to cover the Mexican Revolution, an armed struggle from 1910 to 1920 that had a major impact on Mexican culture and government. While reporting on Pancho Villa, a former bandit, who became a Mexican revolutionary general and one of the most prominent figures of the Mexican Revolution, Reed established his national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed's articles were published in his book Insurgent Mexico (1914), which offers a fascinating read for anyone interested in the Mexican Revolution and its history.
