No scholar has followed Mexican electoral politics more closely than George Grayson, who capitalizes on that extensive knowledge to provide a readable, provocative, critical, extensively researched biography that sheds light on Mexico's most controversial politician. Grayson's challenging interpretations and revelations allow readers to more fully understand López Obrador's personal and political motivations, his dramatic rise to national prominence, and his place in the recent wave of populist, left-of-center national political figures in Latin America.

Every person who knows about current Mexican politics knows about Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) this is a very controversial figure in Mexican politics, there's only 1 option with him you love him or you hate him, and every poll in Mexico shows that it's a 50/50 popularity. After he was defeated on the 2006 elections on a really controversial election AMLO became the symbol of a opposition against former president Vicente Fox and all the conservators in Mexico.

He has a lot of supporters all around Mexico and the US, his followers are the most idealistics, radicals, closed mind people that I ever seen in Mexico not even religions fans are that closed and I guess that this book is going to be a good lecture for them.
