The Mexican Revolution was like no other: it was fueled by no
vanguard party, no coherent ideology, no international ambitions;
and ultimately it served to reinforce rather than to subvert many
of the features of the old regime it overthrew. Alan Knight argues
that a populist uprising brought about the fall of longtime
dictator Porfirio Diaz in 1910. It was one of those "relatively
rare episodes in history when the mass of the people profoundly
influenced events." In this first of two volumes Knight shows how
urban liberals joined in uneasy alliance with agrarian interests to
install Francisco Madero as president and how his attempts to bring
constitutional democracy to Mexico were doomed by
counter-revolutionary forces. "The Mexican Revolution" illuminates
on all levels, local and national, the complex history of an era.
Rejecting fashionable Marxist and revisionist interpretations, it
comes as close as any work can to being definitive.
