Mexican Militarism: The Political Rise and Fall of the Revolutionary Army, 1910-1940
This book examines the unique role a revolutionary army plays in the politics of a single country--Mexico. It discusses the political process which characterizes revolutions and revolutionary regimes in the twentieth century. The general problem to which the author directs his analysis is that of introducing civilian control into a political structure still dominated by the generals who successfully brought about the Revolution and who supposedly represent its ideals.

I think I read this many moons ago and it's still on the shelf. I think I'll poke thru it again and update the review. Or maybe it has been a totem for me?
Trotsky wrote their Constitution and was murdered by Stalins henchmen in Mexico City.
Why would George HW Bush name his company Zapata? Lots of dirt in his story, but he was a likeable cuss.
The film Zapata starred Marlon Brando and Steinbeck wrote the screenplay, I read a book about it. Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden were good, but he was really leftist I think. Fell in with that crowd, it's how you got ahead.
BTW I worked for the last remnant of it, Zapata Protein.
