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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous years leading up to and following the Mexican Revolution of 1910. The author, a keen observer of Mexican politics, provides a detailed account of the rise and fall of General Porfirio DÃÂaz, who ruled Mexico for decades, and the subsequent chaos that engulfed the nation. The book offers a unique perspective on the events that led to DÃÂaz's downfall, highlighting the internal divisions within his regime and the simmering resentment among the Mexican people. Focusing on the key players who shaped this era, including Francisco I. Madero, the idealistic revolutionary who became president, and Ramon Corral, the loyal vice-president who was ultimately betrayed, the book paints a vivid picture of political maneuvering, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked power. The author does not shy away from exposing the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the revolutionaries themselves, showcasing the complex and often contradictory nature of their motivations. The book's insights into the political and social dynamics of Mexico during this turbulent period offer a valuable lens for understanding the country's trajectory and the enduring legacy of the revolution, which continues to shape Mexico today.
