Sinopsis

Excerpt from From Despotism to Anarchy: Porfirio Diaz to Victoriano Huerta

General Porfirio Diaz remained in power for so many years, because his government gave to the country that which it craves peace! The moment, therefore, that the govern ment was unable to quell the incipient revolution incited by Madero, the people for the first time became aware of its weak ness and its inability to supply their wants - peace, order, and the opportunity quietly to earn their daily bread and at that moment they rose in a body and peremptorily demanded back the rights which they had sacrificed, and summarily over-threw the government which could no longer satisfy these natural cravings.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from From Despotism to Anarchy: Porfirio Diaz to Victoriano Huerta

This is an abridged translation of a complete Spanish edition, several chapters of which have been omitted because the author deems them of no interest to English speaking readers.

However, by carefully reading the introduction, where the gist of these chapters is clearly outlined, a fair conception of the matter will be formed. The chapters omitted refer exclusively to Mexican polities prior to the revolution of 1910. The facts relating to this revolution and to subsequent events, are given in full, exactly as in the Spanish edition.

The translation has been made under the immediate supervision of the author, thus assuring a correct version in English of his opinions and statements, something not always realized in translations of works of this nature.
