It has gone through more than thirty editions in Mexico and been translated into French and Greek.,This comprehensively revised and updated edition of the original text is now available with a foreword by Latin American history scholar Friedrich Katz and a new preface by the author. A true â€œpeopleâ€™s history,â€ ,The Mexican Revolution, is a stirring, bottom-up account of an event whose reverberations are still felt throughout Latin America and the rest of the world.
