Memoirs of Pancho Villa

Martín Luis Guzmán

4.9/5 (17259 ratings)

Description:"A frequently fascinating and probably fairly accurate insight into the most controversial character of the Mexican Revolution." --TimeMart�n Luis Guzm�n, eminent historian of Mexico, knew and traveled with Pancho Villa at various times during the Revolution. When many years later some of Villa's private papers, records, and what was apparently the beginning of an autobiography came into Guzm�n's hands, he was ideally suited to blend all these into an authentic account of the Revolution as Pancho Villa saw it, and of the General's life as known only to Villa himself.This is Villa's story, his account of how it all began when as a peasant boy of sixteen he shot a rich landowner threatening the honor of his sister. This lone, starved refugee hiding out in the mountains became the scourge of the Mexican Revolution, the leader of thousands of men, and the hero of the masses of the poor.The assault on Ciudad Ju�rez in 1911, the battles of Tierra Blanca, of Torre�n, of Zacatecas, of Celaya, all are here, told with a feeling of great immediacy. This volume ends as Villa and Obreg�n prepare to engage each other in the war between victorious generals into which the Revolution degenerated before it finally ended.The Memoirs were first published in Mexico in 1951, where they were extremely popular. This volume--translated by Virginia H. Taylor--was the first English publication."This biographical history presents as revealing a historical portrait of the Revolution as the author's earlier historical novel, The Eagle and the Serpent." --The Hispanic American Historical ReviewWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
