A comprehensive overview of Mexico's military history from 1810 to
the present day, including rare facts and information not found
online. Mexico's past is riddled with stories of struggle-military
battles, internal rebellions, revolutions, and drug wars. This
in-depth reference provides a complete military history of that
country since its War of Independence in 1810 through the present
day. From the evolution of combat in the region, to the motivations
and tensions behind recurrent conflicts, to the dubious beginnings
of drug gangs and warlords, this is the only book of its kind to
explore Mexican warfare in such great depth. This detailed study
consists of an alphabetical compilation of roughly 300 entries
dealing with different facets of hostile encounters throughout the
country's history. In addition to covering key places and people,
regional expert and author David F. Marley offers unique insights
into more obscure topics such as the 1913 aerial bombardments at
the port of Guaymas, visits from American luminaries, colorful
Mexican military slang, and the songs that identify various
political factions. The work includes a host of important
historical documents, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography to
encourage further research on the subject. Contains 300 entries
covering every aspect of military history ranging from weapons to
terminology to practices Includes a wealth of hard-to-find
information compiled and translated from obscure Mexican and French
sources Features key primary sources, including 10 of the most
important documents related to the military history of Mexico
Reveals the role music played in creating and establishing
personal, military, and national identities
