Review
"Exciting history as compelling and dramatic as the best of historical fiction. . . . Don't miss this book." (Los Angeles Times)
"One of the most remarkable books about Latin America to appear in years." (Hispanic American Report)
"In this beautifully written history of a little-known struggle between several contending forces in Yucatán, Reed has added an important dimension to anthropological studies in this area." (American Anthropologist)
"All academic and many public libraries have copies of Reed's 1964 classic in Latin American History, a masterfully narrated study of one of the longest and most successful of Indian rebellions. . . . Now, he has revised his book, and in over 100 additional pages incorporated the most important of the new research. . . . This updated edition of Reed's history will remain an essential and widely read overview of a fascinating chapter in New World history. All levels and collections." (Choice)
Reviews of the First Edition"Reed has not only written a fine account of the caste war, he has also given us the first penetrating analysis of the social and economic systems of Yucatan in the 19th and 20th centuries." (American Historical Review)
