Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Katz, reconocido estudioso de la historia de México, arranca esta monumental biografía con una reconstrucción minuciosa de las condiciones que situaron al estado de Chihuahua en el centro del proceso revolucionario. Continúa con la descripción de la vida de forajido que llevó Villa antes de la Revolución y su surgimiento como dirigente revolucionario hasta convertirse en el general que encabezó ese huracán que fue la División del Norte. Relata los encuentros y rupturas que marcaron las relaciones de Villa con otras figuras de la Revolución como Madero, Abraham González, Pascual Orozco, Felipe Ángeles, Zapata, Obregón y Carranza. Katz analiza la naturaleza del movimiento encabezado por Villa y su desempeño como gobernador de Chihuahua al tiempo que describe el avance incontenible del ejército villista sobre el centro del país y su posterior disgregación y retroceso, hasta que Villa queda confinado a las montañas de Chihuahua. Finalmente, esta biografía de Pancho Villa fue la primera que pudo señalar los nombres de sus asesinos tanto materiales como intelectuales. Esta obra es un formidable trabajo de investigación, pero a la vez es una epopeya, una novela, una tragedia y un vasto mural

Download or read book God s Country Or Devil s Playground written by Barney Nelson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic desert landscapes of the Big Bend country along the Texas-Mexico border reminded historian Walter Prescott Webb of "an earth-wreck in which a great section of country was shaken down, turned over, blown up, and set on fire." By contrast, naturalist Aldo Leopold considered the region a mountainous paradise in which even the wild Mexican parrots had no greater concern than "whether this new day which creeps slowly over the canyons is bluer or golder than its predecessors, or less so." Whether it impresses people as God's country or as the devil's playground, the Big Bend typically evokes strong responses from almost everyone who lives or visits there. In this anthology of nature writing, Barney Nelson gathers nearly sixty literary perspectives on the landscape and life of the Big Bend region, broadly defined as Trans-Pecos Texas and northern Chihuahua, Mexico. In addition to Leopold and Webb, the collection includes such well-known writers as Edward Abbey, Mary Austin, Roy Bedichek, and Frederick Olmsted, as well as a wide range of voices that includes explorers, trappers, cowboys, ranch wives, curanderos, college presidents, scientists, locals, tourists, historians, avisadores, and waitresses. Following a personal introduction by Barney Nelson, the pieces are grouped thematically to highlight the distinctive ways in which writers have responded to the Big Bend.

Download or read book Latin America s Wars Volume II The Age of the Professional Soldier 1900 2001 written by Robert L. Scheina and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in Robert Scheina's definitive study of Latin American military history draws upon years of extensive research and teaching in the field. Although wags in the United States have quipped that if Latin America's military forces were not constantly seeking political power they would have nothing to do, Scheina describes how these men have not only bravely defended their own homelands from foreign enemies but have also gone abroad to fight in both world wars and in the Korean War. This groundbreaking volume also examines the numerous U.S. interventions in Latin America during the twentieth century and the various motivations for them, ranging from the petty interests of influential North American businesses to global concerns with grand strategy which, for example, resulted in the building of the Panama Canal. Scheina concludes by exploring the role of Latin America in the Cold War and Colombia's ongoing conflict with the drug cartels. He focuses on operational history in the context of war as an instrument of politics and society, including insightful analyses of the military as an institution and of its relations with civilian government. Latin America's Wars fills a void in the literature, broadens U.S. readers' understanding of their neighbors, and serves as a point of departure for new scholarship.
