According to Enrique Krauze, the political history of Mexico has always been, to a great extent, a projection of the biographies of its leaders. Following the thread of his previous books, "La presidencia imperial traces a bold history of Mexico from 1940 until the end of the 20th Century through the penetrating psychological portraits of nine Mexican presidents all belonging to the same party the Revolutionary Institutional Party.

Análisis político de los sexenios priistas de los gobiernos de Calles, Lázaro Cárdenas, Manuel Ávila Camacho (1940-1946), Miguel Alemán (1946-1952), Adolfo Ruíz Cortines (1952-1958), Adolfo López Mateos (1958-1964), Gustavo Díaz Ordaz (1964-1970), Luis Echevarría Alvarez (1970-1976), José López Portillo (1976-1982), Miguel de la Madrid (1982-1988), Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994). Una lectura obligada para conocer el sistema político mexicano.
Lo que no me explico es que después de tres sexenios para el olvido de presidentes priistas (Díaz Ordaz, Echevarría y López Portillo) haya ganado Salinas de Gortari. ( )

Krauze termina su narración de la historia de México con el período de "revolución institucional". Su argumento a lo largo de los tres volúmenes de su historia---respecto al rol determinante de las biografías y personalidades de los líderes mexicanos en el destino del país---sufre en este último: claramente el período del PRI fue más estructurado, más institucional, más concerniente a los roles que a las almas. La Presidencia Imperial también está más hinchada con detalles que pierden relevancia al paso del tiempo. Aún así, un buen fin para una trilogía extremadamente recomendable ( )
