The Mexican Revolution produced some romantic and heroic figures.
In Mexico at the time, however, one man loomed large as the
embodiment of revolutionary goals and the one leader able to take
the country from strife into peace. That man was Alvaro Obregon.
Less well-known to North Americans than his contemporaries and
sometime allies Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa, Obregon
eventually formed the first stable government of post-revolutionary
Mexico. Stories of his daring and near-invincibility abounded as he
led revolutionary forces against the usurper Huerta, then against
the "bandit" elements within the Revolution itself. Throughout the
period of fighting, however, Obregon was shrewdly building
coalitions of support and espousing concrete programs that would
allow him to institutionalize power when the fighting ended.
This political and social study of Obregon's rise to power, based
on extensive archival research and interviews with revolutionary
participants, provides an important perspective not only on the
Revolution itself but also on its consolidation in the hands of an
extraordinary leader. Students of Mexican history will find the
book indispensable; others will find it a fascinating story of a
man, a people, and how they lay the bases of peace in the midst of
war.
