"[Political Intelligence and the Creation of Modern Mexico] gives an admirable account of the development of the PRI model and reiterates the exceptionalism of the Mexican case."
--William A. Booth, Journal of Latin American Studies
"Navarro provides both a history of the establishment and regularisation of the Mexican intelligence services and an account of the changes in the ways government intelligence officers viewed the political opposition. . . . At heart [Political Intelligence and the Creation of Modern Mexico] is an almanac of intelligence reports, expertly linked and analysed, which allow the reader insights into both specific events and broader themes. . . . This is a very useful book with much to recommend it to all with an interest in the post-Cardenas period. It gives an admirable account of the development of the PRI model and reiterates the exceptionalism of the Mexican case."
--William A. Booth, Journal of Latin American Studies
"In this excellent and provocative book, the author offers new explanations for the consolidation of Mexico's political system following the Mexican Revolution. . . . [The book] breaks important new archival ground with Navarro's exhaustive research in the recently opened archive of the Mexican intelligence services and in his pairing of these sources with contemporaneous United States intelligence documents. Combined with a close reading of relevant secondary sources, this rich source base allows Navarro to provide new insights regarding events and figures that are well known within Mexican history, as well as to reveal many previously unknown facets of post-revolutionary politics."
--Sarah Osten, The Historian
"Aaron Navarro's study of mid-20th century Mexican politics is welcome--not just as a significant contribution to the historiography of the post-revolutionary period, but also as an insightful account of the development of institutions that continue to play an important part in Mexico's national life."
--Halbert Jones, ReVista Magazine
"Aaron Navarro's excellent book should transform our understanding of how Mexican politics developed into the regime Mexico endured from World War II into the 1980s. This study is the first incisive explanation of a highly critical factor in the making of modern Mexico, the making of its terrifically violent politics into the 'post-Revolutionary state.' Richly informed by massive original research in newly opened Mexican public and private archives (among them the tremendous federal investigative files), drawing deep on U.S. State and several other department files, clear and cogent in its argument, it opens the way for the first historically serious explorations of political struggle in that now old regime--before its collapse in the 1990s."
--John Womack Jr., Robert Woods Bliss Professor Emeritus of Latin American History and Economics, Harvard University
