Product Description
In 1910, Mexican peasant Pancho Villa led a rebellion against the wealthy landowners, and fought to redistribute land to the poor Mexican "peons" who worked it for the absentee owners, in what has been called "the first socialist revolution". Originally published as a series of newspaper dispatches, "Insurgent Mexico" was written by American journalist John Reed (author of "Ten Days That Shook The World"), who lived with the Mexican rebels, made friends with Pancho Villa, and was nearly killed in a battle with Mexican government forces. With ten pages of photos. New introduction gives historical overview.
