More miserable and depressing than compelling, the main value of this book is in its status and message.

not great, but a classic.
points out the pointlessness and lack of justice in revolutionary violence. this is an important book in Mexican history but it is not "good." (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451522559, Paperback)

The news spread like lightning. Villa--the magic word! The Great Man, the salient profile, the unconquerable warrior who, even at a distance, exerts the fascination of a reptile, a boa constrictor.
