"As the year 1910 moved into autumn, even the most reckless gambler would not have bet on the likelihood that the century's first major revolution (and the fourth-ranking in importance in the entire century) was about to break out."

Description

"At once a history of the revolution in Mexico and a dual biography of the two men who shaped it, Villa and Zapata chronicles a decade of turbulent events that involved not only native rebels and corrupt Mexican politicos but also the U.S. government, American oil interests, "Blackjack" Pershing's troops, and German secret agents. Separately - the ruthless Pancho Villa and his mobile army of ex-cowboys and ranchers in the north and Emiliano Zapata with an infantry recruited from the peons on the sugar plantations in the south - the revolutionaries waged a devastating war on two fronts and successfully brought down a string of autocrats in Mexico City."--BOOK JACKET.
