Mexico Under Carranza: A Lawyer's Indictment Of The Crowning Infamy Of Four Hundred Years Of Misrule (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163354353)

""Mexico Under Carranza"" is a critical analysis of the presidency of Venustiano Carranza, the leader of the Mexican Revolution and the country's president from 1917 to 1920. Written by Thomas Edward Gibbon, a lawyer and journalist who lived and worked in Mexico during Carranza's rule, the book is a scathing indictment of the corruption, violence, and incompetence that characterized the Carranza regime. Gibbon argues that Carranza's government was marked by a complete disregard for the rule of law, the suppression of civil liberties, and the persecution of political opponents. He also examines the economic and social conditions of Mexico during this period, highlighting the poverty, inequality, and injustice that persisted despite the promises of the revolution. Through his detailed analysis, Gibbon paints a damning portrait of Carranza and his legacy, concluding that his presidency was the ""crowning infamy"" of four hundred years of misrule in Mexico.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
