Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author blends fact and fiction to bring the Mexican Revolution to life in a “harrowing and brutal tale” of its famous leader (Rocky Mountain News). Waged from 1910 to 1920, the Mexican Revolution profoundly transformed Mexican government and culture. And Pancho Villa was its “incarnation and its eagle of a soul”—so says Rodolfo Fierro, the narrator of The Friends of Pancho Villa, an ex-con, train robber, and Villa’s loyal friend. Killers of men and lovers of life, the revolutionaries fought for freedom, for a new Mexico, and for Villa himself. In return, they shared victory and death with their country’s most powerful hero. “Frankly describing the murder, betrayal and deceit that turned a revolution against dictatorship into a civil war,” the Los Angeles Times Book Prize–winning author of The Ways of Wolfe delivers a masterpiece of ferocious loyalty, bloody revolution, and legends that live forever (Publishers Weekly). “One of the greatest chroniclers of the mythical American outlaw life” —Entertainment Weekly “This is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is revolution.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Pancho Villa Facing History, by Celia Herrera, is a bloodthirsty tale of rape, pillage, and murder. It is also to the everlasting sorrow of the people of Mexico, history. Though Villa has been "redeemed" bu revisionist historians over the years as a patriot, a true revolutionary, the fact remains that he began his career as a bandit and continued to terrorize all with whom he came in contact throughout his nefarious existence, in later years with governmental assistance! Author Celia Herrera knows firsthand the horror of Villa's reign. A daughter and granddaughter of true revolutionaries, as a child she was a witness to some of the terrible atrocities perpetrated on Mexicans by the bandit. She writers compellingly, yet factually, of a murky period of Mexican history, in hopes that the truth will, at long last, be recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This colorful history of Pancho Villa as a propagandist tells how the legendary guerrilla waged war not only on the battlefield but also in the mass media, where he promoted his foreign policy of friendship with the United States in a bid to gain American backing for the Mexican Revolution between 1913 and 1915. Mark Cronlund Anderson explores issues of race, identity, and the power of the mass media to explain how Villa dueled with his archrivals, Mexican dictator Victoriano Huerta and Villa's ostensible colleague-in-arms, Venustiano Carranza, using a sophisticated public-relations machine. Villa ultimately lost the military struggle but won the propaganda war by successfully casting himself as stereotypically "American" -- clever, fearless, modest, humble, self-reliant, and a champion of the downtrodden -- while representing his rivals as backward, racially inferior, and morally impaired. Examining the diplomatic correspondence, news reports, and even the political cartoons of the time, Anderson reveals how Villa set America's media agendas and influenced U.S. foreign policy -- all the way to the Woodrow Wilson White House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing both an analysis of the Mexican Revolution and a compelling story of the notorious Pancho Villa, this book describes this historical period from the perspective of its most iconic figure. Doroteo Arango—much better known as "Pancho Villa"—was one of the revolutionary generals during Mexico's turbulent times in the early 1900s. Villa was a train robber, a cattle thief, and a murderer, yet today he is revered by Mexicans and Americans for his accomplishments, and roads and neighborhoods in Mexico bear his name. Pancho Villa: A Biography provides a compelling life story full of adventure, the events of which helped define the course of modern Mexico. Through the lens of Villa's personal experience, author Alejandro Quintana offers an appealing, accessible interpretation of the complex turn of events that define the violence, confusion, chaos, and transformation in Mexico between 1910 and 1923. Organized chronologically, the book details the social tensions under the ruthless rule of dictator Porfirio Díaz; documents Villa's rise into becoming the most powerful military leader of the revolution; analyzes the civil war that resulted from Villa's differences with the revolutionary political leadership; and describes the reasons for his decline and eventual assassination.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cock of the Walk, Qui-Qui-Ri-Qui!: The Legend of Pancho VillaPancho Villa has dominated my literary interest from the year 1935, when I moved from New York to Alpine, Texas. In Alpine, El Paso, Presidio, and other Texas Mexico border towns I heard so many stirring tales about him that I visited shortly, in that same year, a few cities in Mexico, such as Chihuahua, Juarez, and Ojinaga. Again, in 1939, I traveled through the same border country. Much later, at El Paso in 1946 and thereafter, I interviewed peo ple and Visited battle scenes in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and traveled in the interior of Mexico to Mexico City itself, visiting such other famous historical sites as Parral and Torreon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
