Interesting book for students of the Mexican Revolution. Probably would not be of interest to the general reader. Edith O'Shaughnessy was the wife of the American charge deAffairs in Mexico City from October 1913 to April 1914. The book is her observations of the Huerta government. Even though American President Wilson had a great dislike for Huerta, and wished to remove him from power, Edith O'Shaughnessy believed that there was a lot to admire in Huerta. Her thoughts are interesting because now nobody thinks kindly of Huerta. A large part of her writing is her frustration at the policies her government, the one that employs her husband.
