Review
"The Mexican revolution is a fine subject for the particular narrative skills of Frank McLynn, one of Britain's largely unrecognised national treasures. A fluent writer and an indefatigable researcher...compulsively readable... A gripping story" (Richard Gott Literary Review)
"'The main achievement of the book is to reduce a fiendishly complicated story into an admirable clear narrative...This is the best attempt to do so that I have read" (Patrick Marnham Sunday Times)
"A lucid account...riveting" (Brian Davis Time Out)
"Though this is a sober history book...much of it reads like the wildest of westerns...compelling and exciting" (Peter Lewis Daily Mail)
"Peppered with anecdotes, driven by a rigorous approach to truth-telling...accessible and well-paced...this is essential reading" (Michael McCaughan Irish Times)
