This review is from: Zapata of Mexico (Paperback)

Peter Newell gives us a good look at the impact that Zapata had on the Mexican Revolution. He shows us that Zapata was a man of honor and respect who unlike the other key figures of the revolution was not interested in ruling the people, but instead wanted to serve them. His battle was for one thing only, that the poor of Mexico have a better chance of having a good life. In this short book, Newell does show us this, and also shows us how all the different factions at one time or another betrayed him, or didn't take him seriously. That was the downfall of some of this men. He also tells of the historic meeting between Zapata and Villa and gives a detailed description of what transcribed. Of the two, Zapata was the one who kept true to the aims of the revolution and that is why he is still a symbol of resistence to the poor of Mexico today.
