About this title

Review:

"MacLachlan (Tulane Univ.) and Beezley (Univ. of Arizona) provide an excellent overview of Mexico's complex, chaotic, and formative period between independence and revolution. Focusing primarily on political events, but with a fair amount of social and economic history, the authors follow the growth and contraction of the Mexican nation, providing clear, concise descriptions of the many factions and political ideas that have both united and divided it."--C.L./I>--C.L. Sinclair "Choice "
