The purpose of this book is to make Mexico more accessible to non-Mexicans. Being so close to America but they are so different, it is intended that its northern neighbors understand them better.
A study of Mexico - political, social, cultural, economic - by a journalist who was for the past 6 years the NYT bureau chief in Mexico City. With portraits of Mexico's top leaders, about a nation whose stability is vital to our national well-being.
