An adequate biography about Francisco Madero, president of Mexico between 1911 and 1913. I’ve read extensively on the Mexican Revolution, and there was not a whole lot new in this book. The author is obviously a fan of Madero, explaining away all of Madero’s failings.
Where the book excelled was in Madero’s final days, the so-called Ten Tragic Days. The author presents a detailed, day-by-day description of the movements of all the major players in the coup d’etat that deposed and murdered Madero.
This book would probably not be of interest to the general reader, but is a must-read for students of the Mexican Revolution.
