1290. Baja California, by William Weber Johnson and the Editors of Time-Life Books (9 Sept 1974) This is about what I am used to calling Lower California. An intriguing peninsula. I think I'd sooner read about it than go there.
The best single account of the Mexican Revolution. The story of Mexico in the twentieth century is a prologue to the future of the Americas.
